Monitor an entire technology domain.
Not just the competitors you already know.
A continuous domain-level signal stream, across patents, papers, and clinical trials, that catches the players you didn't think to watch.
Competitor monitoring watches the players you've named. Technology surveillance watches the field ... including organisations and institutions you haven't identified yet. Significant technology shifts often start outside your competitive peer group: in academic spin-offs, national labs, or cross-disciplinary research that most IP teams aren't watching.
Your competitive monitoring tracks the four players you named. Two months later, a paper from a Karolinska spin-off you've never heard of describes a delivery mechanism that bypasses your entire patent family. The threat didn't come from your watch list. It came from outside it.
Before Kwintely vs With Kwintely
Teams already using Kwintely for Technology Surveillance
From description to result in three steps
Define the technology scope
Describe the domain in natural language ... as broad or as narrow as your strategic need. No IPC code lists required.
Continuous domain scanning
Every weekly index update is screened across patents, scientific papers, and clinical trials against your domain definition.
Weekly synthesis delivered
A domain digest with new signals, emerging sub-fields, and flagged items that warrant closer attention.
Four artifacts, one search
Weekly domain digest
All new patents, papers, and clinical trials in your domain, synthesised into one weekly briefing.
Emerging-sub-field alert
New filing clusters surfaced as they form, before the sub-field has a name.
Cross-domain signal report
Adjacent disciplines entering your domain, the earliest disruption signal.
Shareable team feed
Same surveillance view, your whole team, no per-seat cost.
What teams ask before they sign.
How does this differ from competitor monitoring?
Competitor monitoring watches the players you've named, useful if you already know who's in your space. Surveillance watches the entire technology domain, named or unnamed. Most disruption comes from organisations you didn't think to monitor: academic spin-offs, national labs, cross-disciplinary entrants. Surveillance catches them; competitor monitoring doesn't.
Is the output ready for counsel review?
Every result includes the source document, publication date, similarity score, and the relevant passage quoted verbatim. The output is structured the way an associate-led search would be: ranked, cited, exportable. The AI is a mapping engine; the documents it surfaces are real. Counsel still makes the legal call; Kwintely does the search and citation prep.
How does this fit with my existing patent firm?
Most teams run Kwintely before engaging counsel, to scope the work and narrow the candidate set, then walk into the review with the search prep already done. Counsel spends their hours on judgement and the legal opinion, not on assembling the candidate list.
What about pricing and lock-in?
Three ways to work with Kwintely: the self-serve SaaS platform, scoped research-service projects where our team runs the analysis for you, or the API and MCP data layer for your own tools. Full output runs on a paid plan, the free tier is for trying basic searches, not complete deliverables. See the pricing page for current plans and terms.
Run the experiment, not the procurement.
Scope your domain, see what your watch list misses.
Counsel still signs off
Kwintely produces the structured search; your firm keeps ownership of the legal opinion. Nothing about your existing relationship has to change.
Run it on a real case
Pick the technology you'd already pay counsel to clear. Compare what Kwintely returns against what your firm would charge for. Decide on the second case, not the first.
No lock-in
Free tier covers the first basic experiment. Full output on paid plans. Fixed monthly fee on the way up. The cost of the test is one search.
