What does an effective patent monitoring programme look like?

In this episode, the first of a two-part series, sponsored by CAS, we focus on the importance of developing a robust patent monitoring programme.

Matt Garver, IP search analyst at CAS and Peter Mattei, senior IP searcher at CAS, joined Managing IP's senior reporter Rani Mehta to discuss:

· What is patent monitoring? Why is it so important?

· What are companies doing if they do not have a robust patent monitoring programme in place, and what does that mean for them?

· What are the hallmarks of an effective programme?
