Tegnosis The patent tool for searching and monitoring
Tegnosis 3.0 is a web based tool for patent searches, technology and competitor monitoring. Comment and rate patents and bookmark them to your folders. The multi-user tool is suitable for product development teams and patent professionals as well as for integrating external patent agents.
Tegnosis provides answers to the following questions:
- How to proceed with an identified patent which is considered as important?
- How can I share my view on a patent with others?
- How to link our own patents to the product designations used inhouse?
- Can I monitor patented technologies with as little efforts as possible?
Overview of features All you need for your patent searches and patent monitoring
Features in Detail
Search Patents
Tegnosis enables the user to search in all bibliographic data of a patent. Keywords will be marked and highlighted.
Patent Monitoring
The user specifies the technical scope to be watched and email notifications include links for each saved search. The link name corresponds to the title of the saved search.
MONITOR PATENTS AND PATENT FAMILIES
be notified when patents cites your watched patent (forward citations).
In addition be notified when new patents are published within a specific patent family or when changes are published with regard to the legal status of a specific patent.
Determine the watch interval and the users within the user group who shall receive the patent findings.

[1] Just click on the button "save" in order to save a new search query, or on the button "save as" if you wish to save a modified search query under a new name.
[2] Select the users who shall view the saved search as well. [3] Determine the interval when Tegnosis shall execute the search. [4] Select the users who shall receive an email notification about the latest patent findings.
[5] when selecting a saved search Tegnosis indicates the search title, the interval, the date of the next search execution as well as the users to be notified.
AI-powered functions
Smart Search: An alternative to parameterised searches - formulate your query in full sentences and in your preferred language.
Smart Abstract: Display the patent's abstract in comprehensible sentences and in the language of your choice.
Smart Patent: Get a patent summary in a well-structured outline (problem, state of the art, solution, advantages), of course directly in your language.
ΣCITS
A very targeted way of monitoring is to look at third party citations to your own patents. The search results may well include applicants and technical applications that are not on the searcher's radar (competitors, potential customers or licensees). For a large patent portfolio, it is very time-consuming to set up third-party citation monitoring for each individual patent. The ΣCITS function completely eliminates this effort. Monitoring remains up to date even as the patent portfolio evolves.
Access to files of the patent registers
Gain insight into important documents such as correspondence between applicants and patent offices, official communications from patent offices and statements from applicants. This function provides access to files in the registers of the EPO, USPTO, KIPO, JPO, CIPO, CNIPA and WIPO. Just like the 'legal status', the files can be conveniently monitored.
Relevance per project
A relevance corresponds to a category that assesses the patent with regard to a technical issue. The same patent could receive a completely different assessment for a different issue. How does this work in Tegnosis?
A saved search defines the technical issue. A relevance assigned to a patent from the saved search is also assigned to all other family members of the patent. In addition, the relevance also remains associated with the saved search. This allows you to immediately see if you have already viewed an earlier publication of this patent family. You can also discover whether this patent has already been evaluated in another project (search).
Setting up workflows
A professionally operated monitoring service should be well organised, especially if several people are involved. Tegnosis allows you to set up several individual workflows. A workflow can be easily initiated while reviewing the patents from a monitoring. Set up the processes as they are needed in your company. Tegnosis reminds the involved persons weekly of upcoming tasks.
Easy to Operate
Beside extensive patent search functions, Tegnosis also allows users to manage patents. Patents can be annotated, rated and bookmarked in folders. The user can share such information with others.
Monitoring Your Field of Interest
The user is notified by email when new patent publications meet criteria of the saved search queries.
Local Contacts
Tegnosis is "made in Switzerland". Scambia Patent Services GmbH teaches basic knowledge about patent information on site and instructs new Tegnosis users. We actively support the users afterwards, when questions about Tegnosis usage arise or new software updates are introduced.
Customized
We configure Tegnosis to your technology and market fields so you get access to relevant patent information and consequently save time when screening the patent search results.
