Watermark
Through our dedicated in-house team of searchers, Watermark is able to offer a substantial range of cost effective and comprehensive search and watch facilities.
Our search group has access to the latest commercial IP databases, and is able to undertake comprehensive worldwide novelty, registrability, infringement, and state of the art searches for patent, trade mark and designs matters. Our searchers are also able to identify business name and domain name ownership.
Our search group also maintains watches on pending and registered IP rights. For example, progress of competitors’ patent, trade mark and designs applications or entire portfolios can be monitored, for example, for potential opposition or to assist research and development of own products.
We are also able to generate statistical analysis reports of particular areas of technology. For example, we can carry out patent mapping, which can help to establish where are the growing areas of technology, who the main players are and in which countries, and how many patents are filed by those companies etc.
