Global Patent & IP Enforcement Actions Monitor
Pricing
from $2.00 / 1,000 patent enforcement proceedings
Extracts USPTO PTAB patent-dispute proceedings (IPR/PGR/CBM/Derivation), plus an optional EPO Open Patent Services opposition-watch module. Both sources are BYOK via free registration. PatentsView (down) and WIPO (paid-only) are out of scope - see README.md.
uspto_ptab = real USPTO PTAB Trial proceedings (IPR/PGR/CBM/DER), newest-filed-first, via the USPTO Open Data Portal. epo_opposition = EPO Open Patent Services opposition-family legal-status watch for a caller-supplied list of EP publication numbers (epWatchlist). Both require the matching credential fields below (BYOK) -- see this actor's README/src/http.ts for the live-verified access requirements of each.

[ "uspto_ptab"]Required when sources includes uspto_ptab. Bring-your-own-key: obtain a free key from a USPTO.gov account (MFA required) at https://data.uspto.gov/myodp -- this actor never attempts to create that account on your behalf. Never logged or persisted beyond this run.
Required when sources includes epo_opposition. From a free developers.epo.org account + registered App (OAuth2 client-credentials flow). Never logged or persisted beyond this run.
Paired with epoOpsConsumerKey. Never logged or persisted beyond this run.
Required when sources includes epo_opposition -- EPO OPS has no bulk 'recent oppositions' search, only a per-publication-number legal-status lookup, so this actor is watchlist-driven for that source. Example: "EP3000000".
[]Filters uspto_ptab results by trialMetaData.trialTypeCode. Leave empty for all four: Inter Partes Review (IPR), Post-Grant Review (PGR), Covered Business Method (CBM), Derivation (DER).
[]Optionally restricts uspto_ptab results to proceedings whose petitionFilingDate falls within this window (applied server-side as an ODP rangeFilter). Does not affect epo_opposition, which is watchlist-driven.
Hard cap on how many records to return per selected source this run (applied independently to uspto_ptab and epo_opposition).
When enabled, persists seen record ids and a status fingerprint between runs (in this actor's own key-value store) and skips records whose status is unchanged since the prior run. A first-seen record is emitted as event_type SANCTION; a previously-seen record whose status/decision fields changed is emitted as UPDATED; a uspto_ptab record whose terminationDate newly became set since it was last seen is emitted as the more specific TERMINATED instead. Recommended for recurring monitoring.
