We monitor any Issued US Patent Application that you
register with us by using the USPTO's Public PAIR
system
.

Once a week we check Public PAIR for status
changes in the patent numbers that you have
registered.

Patent Status and Assignment Changes

We will email you any change in the status and assignment of any of your registered US issued patents that we find in the USPTO's Public PAIR and in the Assignments on the Web for Patents (AOTW-P) Database.

This includes maintenance fees that are due, as well as the status and assignment of the application, for example acknowledgement of correspondence address changes, etc.

You do not need to be the patent application's USPTO's Attorney of Record.

When any of your registered US patents' fees are due, you will receive email notification from us at specific and timely maintenance fee intervals. This will allow you to better manage cash flow, as well as to avoid incurring USPTO surcharges, etc. for missed deadlines.

We also attach to our notification email the Public PAIR web page that we accessed to check the application's fee status.

Subscription Costs

ceStatus charges a subscription rate of $180.00 per registered USPTO issued patent application, per subscription period.

We offer discounts for bulk subscriptions. Please contact us to inquire further.

Subscription Period

The subscription period is for the current USPTO patent Maintenance Fee Period.

For example, if you subscribe immediately after the patent has been issued, then we will monitor the patent fees for the first fee period, i.e. fees "due at 3.5 years".

Please note that if you subscribed to ceStatus monitoring prior to the patent application being issued, your subscription fee does not include the first patent Maintenance Fee Period. In this case, you will need to register a new subscription fee for the now issued US patent.

Monitoring continues from the registration / payment date until either we note that (a) the fees have been paid, or that (b) the patent has expired, e.g. "Patent Expired for Failure to Pay Maintenance Fees".

We continue to monitor the status and assignment of the application, for example acknowledgement of correspondence address changes, etc. until the next patent Maintenance Fee Period becomes due, i.e. the end of the current patent Maintenance Fee Period. For example, if we were monitoring for fees "due at 3.5 years" and they were successfully paid, then monitoring ends and will not continue for fees "due at 7.5 years", i.e. the next patent Maintenance Fee Period.

Once your subscription has expired, you will no longer receive USPTO notifications from us.

Prior to your subscription's expiration, we shall notify you by email so you may renew your subscription with us and continue to receive timely USPTO notifications from us.

Below is an example of the email(s) that you will receive after registering a pending US patent application with us:
