These extensions can last for <strong>five years<\/strong> and aim to compensate patent holders for marketing time lost while developing the drug and awaiting government approval.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>That was about the four applications of Patent Prosecution Monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overview_of_Prosecution_Monitoring\"><\/span><strong>Overview of Prosecution Monitoring<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This diagram here gives an overview of all the stages we have discussed previously.

Now, starting with <strong>preparation of documents<\/strong>, then <strong>responding to examiner\u2019s rejections<\/strong> and <strong>carrying out amendments in the pre-grant phase<\/strong>.

The watch can be done based on the defendant name, opponent name, or the patent numbers. It is mainly helpful to investors, stakeholders, collaborators, and competitors, because the legal capabilities are crucial for ongoing corporate success and it is important to deploy sophisticated legal strategies to capture the profits of innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_Study_IV_How_Our_Patent_Monitoring_Service_Helped_a_Japanese_Company_to_Launch_an_Infringement_Free_Product\"><\/span><strong>Case Study<\/strong> IV: How Our Patent Monitoring Service Helped a Japanese Company to Launch an Infringement Free Product<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, in one of our case studies, a client was interested in doing an <a href=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/freedom-to-operate-fto-search\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>FTO<\/strong> search<\/a> before launching his product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1056\" height=\"594\" src=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Slide27.jpg\" alt=\"Patent Monitoring Service Helped a Japanese Company to Launch an Infringement Free Product\" class=\"wp-image-11718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Slide27.jpg 1056w, https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Slide27-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Slide27-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Slide27-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1056px) 100vw, 1056px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fig.19 Case Study: Litigation Watch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When the FTO search was prepared by Sagacious IP, two patents of competitors were identified on which the client\u2019s product was infringing. However, both the patents were already in litigation at that time. The client got a litigation watch setup for both the patents to save himself an additional cost of filing the opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the outcomes of the cases came out, the client made a few changes in his products based on the outcome and arguments given during the case. Hence, Sagacious IP helped the client to launch an <strong>infringement free product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was all in Prosecution and Litigation Monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude, we would say monitoring legal status either for own patents or that for others is important to stay informed, pre-prepared, and to take further actions. The monitoring of different stages of patent prosecution and litigation is an inherent step to take into consideration while going for any patent related activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, are there any questions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_and_Answers\"><\/span><strong>Questions and Answers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ram Tenneti<\/strong> &#8211; Thank you Pooja for that brief introduction and giving a quick understanding. Now, I do have some questions here that I look are very interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me start off with the first question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"During_Mergers_and_Collaborations_Is_a_Legal_Status_Monitoring_Is_Enough_to_Decide_the_Right_Candidate\"><\/span><strong>During Mergers and Collaborations, Is a Legal Status Monitoring Is Enough to Decide the Right Candidate?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you say the prosecution monitoring can be use during mergers or collaborations &#8211; Do you mean that a legal status monitoring is enough to decide the right candidate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pooja Chhikara<\/strong> &#8211; I would say no. Just doing the legal status monitoring, it is not enough or an activity like a merger or collaboration to take place. There are various other factors that need to be studied to take the final decision, of course. What we have discussed in the webinar is the indications that can be drawn with the help of a legal status monitoring during a merger or collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I, also, mentioned in the conclusion that prosecution monitoring is something that is inherent in every step of a patent related activity. We have to take into consideration the legal aspects of a patent. But, yes, we have to take into consideration the other factors as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Recommend_Prosecution_Monitoring_to_Someone_Who_Has_the_Portfolio_of_Less_Patents\"><\/span><strong>Can You Recommend Prosecution Monitoring to Someone Who Has the Portfolio of Less Patents?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ram Tenneti<\/strong> &#8211; Would you recommend a prosecution patent monitoring for someone who is having a portfolio of just about five patents?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pooja Chhikara<\/strong> &#8211; Of course, we can recommend the prosecution monitoring to someone having very few patents also. Though, we would preferably recommend it to someone having a large portfolio. The reason behind saying yes is that for someone having their focus on other core business areas, there can be a gap in the monitoring and understanding the legal events. As a result, important insights can be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, it, also, depends on how new your patent portfolio is. If it&#8217;s a very new one, then the patents are more prone to getting rejections. So, hence, it is better to get it done from professionals and patent and market analysts, who can provide the right insights at the right time to take the right actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apart_from_Generic_Companies_Who_Else_Can_Reap_Benefits_of_Patent_Expiry_Watch\"><\/span><strong>Apart from Generic Companies, Who Else Can Reap Benefits of Patent Expiry Watch?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ram Tenneti<\/strong> &#8211; Apart from generic companies, are there anyone else who can reap the benefit of a Patent Expiry Watch and if so, how?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pooja Chhikara<\/strong> &#8211; Of course, any company can pick the benefit of expired technology related to their domain of interest. It\u2019s just that the trend is more commonly seen among the generic companies. That&#8217;s why we presented that example in the webinar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, by performing a patent expiry watch, it can provide any company a first mover advantage to strategize the R&amp;D at the right time, and consequently in coming up with their own product without infringing anyone. So, any company can get the expiry patent watch. It&#8217;s not just the generic companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ram Tenneti<\/strong> \u2013 All right! That\u2019s wonderful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, thank you Pooja for those enormously helpful answers to the queries that we have. We are running short of time, so I would love to take a brief note of all the questions that we have here, and definitely, the ones that could not have been answered. We&#8217;ll get back to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you Pooja and to all the participants of the webinar!
