Overview
Register Alert is the service which allows you to automatically monitor changes to data contained in the European Patent Register. You can monitor up to 1 000 files of your choice.
Register Alert can be accessed via a user name/password or smart card login on www.epo.org/searching/free/register-alert.html.
As part of the service, you can choose to have Register Alert send you and up to four other addresses an automatic e-mail alert every time a change occurs to one of your selected files in the European Patent Register.
You can choose whether to receive separate e-mail alerts for changes to individual files, or one e-mail alert containing all changes to all files. You can also customise the format of your e-mail notification. All alerts contain an application or publication number hyperlink to the European Patent Register, so you can immediately check the most recent event.
Register Alert allows you to download your list of monitored files to your computer using the export function. You can also import a list of files to be monitored into the alert service.
