Patent Watch is a routine process carried out in a corporation for monitoring newly issued patents or published patent applications or any non-patent literatures. Patent watch may be performed in a quarterly or monthly basis.

In such a situation the company can seek for a clearance opinion from an Attorney to least show that their product or process is different and does not fall within the scope of such issued patents.

If the attorney is of opinion that the product or the process of the company is indeed falls within the scope of the patent then the company immediately takes up the following measures to avoid the expensive litigation in the court:

Modify the product or process so that it do not infringe
