NLPatent, a Canadian company, is launching a new patent monitoring tool called Monitor. This tool uses advanced AI and user-driven insights to automatically monitor patent portfolios or user-defined technology areas. It delivers fewer, more targeted alerts with strategic, context-rich insights, including a relevance score and a clear explanation of why each alert matters. The tool was beta-tested by a group of customers from leading law firms, corporations, and research universities, and their feedback was instrumental in shaping the platform’s features. The tool is powered by LLMs, which are able to grapple with language at a conceptual level, making them a valuable asset for patent work. Monitor users can fine-tune the sensitivity threshold for alerts, configure the universe of patents they wish to monitor, and set alert frequency preferences. They can also share alerts with their peers. This new capability builds upon NLPatent’s already well-developed search offering, which uses LLMs to search for ideas across variable language. With the addition of Monitor, NLPatent is helping organizations make faster, more informed IP decisions and unlocking new workflows for better competitive analysis.
