Clarivate Plc, a prominent provider of transformative intelligence, has launched the Derwent Patent Monitor, a new enterprise solution designed to enhance the speed and accuracy of intellectual property (IP) and research and development (R&D) patent reviews. Announced on November 24, 2025, in London, this innovative tool aims to facilitate faster decision-making regarding patentability, freedom to operate (FTO), and potential infringement issues.
The Derwent Patent Monitor leverages proprietary data and artificial intelligence to evaluate potential threats swiftly. This AI-powered feature accelerates initial assessments, known as Threat Analysis, enabling patent professionals to identify critical risks effectively. According to Shandon Quinn, Vice President of Patent Intelligence at Clarivate, the tool addresses significant challenges in collaboration between R&D teams and IP leaders, particularly in the patent filing process.
Streamlined Collaboration for Faster Decisions
Quinn stated, “One of the biggest challenges IP leaders mention to me is upgrading their team’s partnership with R&D for filing stronger patents and minimizing infringement risk.” He noted that traditional processes are often hindered by isolated teams and fragmented tools. The Derwent Patent Monitor aims to break down these barriers by integrating flexible collaboration and review workflows with unique Derwent patent data and AI technology.
This solution is built on data from the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI), which is recognized as the most comprehensive database, containing over 67 million invention summaries authored by more than 850 subject matter experts at Clarivate. This extensive database enables teams to save time and streamline their patent review processes.
Efficiency and Real-Time Feedback
Designed specifically for collaboration, the Derwent Patent Monitor helps patent teams enhance their efficiency through structured, project-based reviews and real-time feedback mechanisms. This functionality eliminates the need for disorganized emails and spreadsheets, allowing for better alignment and communication among team members. As a result, the patent monitoring process becomes faster and more cohesive, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions quickly.
