As an innovative spin-out from an existing intellectual property consulting firm, IPWatch is unique. Our product design and revenue model insures that our high quality, immediate results and solutions to intellectual property management problems are accessible to companies of all sizes either directly or through law firms. As well, We have products that were created specifically for the General Counsels of large, publicly traded companies, and law firms designed with the entrepreneurial business owner in mind. Our products are perfect for lawyers, paralegals, legal executives, marketing executives, and intellectual property asset managers to utilize as they identify existing intellectual property assets, determine how best to affordably protect the value of those assets, and create optimal business strategies for intellectual property commercialization.  We also have products for law firms processing one or many thousands of intellectual property activities per month for many varied clients. We are not a law firm. We provide intellectual property management products and services of a higher quality, in a much shorter time frame, at a lower price point than has ever been feasible without the use of our “Big Data” based proprietary, patent pending system, code and algorithms.

IPWatch assures that its services will be carried out using reasonable care and skill in accordance with the client’s instructions. However, IPWatch’s services are dependent upon third party suppliers of data and services such as official gazettes and journals, miscellaneous publications, electronic references, and outside translators and no warranty or other term is given with respect to such data or services. Therefore, IPWatch has no liability in respect to any errors in them. IPWatch will use reasonable effort to ensure official gazettes and other publications arrive regularly, but cannot accept liability if they fail to arrive or arrive late, through reasons beyond the control of IPWatch. IPWatch will have no liability to the client, in contract, tort or otherwise, for any loss of profit, wasted expenditure, costs of management time or any other indirect, special or consequential loss, damage, costs, expenses or other claims whether caused by the negligence of IPWatch, its staff, suppliers or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the provision of the services.

Our Commitment Privacy

IPWatch Systems Corporation, an Alabama S corporation, (hereinafter “IPWatch” or the “Company”) is deeply committed to your right to privacy and takes your privacy seriously. We have very strict privacy policies and we strive to keep your personal and financial information secure. Please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to the IPWatch.com website (sometimes “Site”) and not to any other websites that you may access from this site, each of which may have privacy policies that are materially different from this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy covers IPWatch’s treatment of personally identifiable information that IPWatch collects when you are on the IPWatch site, and when you use IPWatch’s services.

We pledge to hold all information you provide to us in absolute privacy. We will NEVER share your name, e-mail address or personal information with any third party, unless specifically authorized by you. We NEVER sell or rent our mailing list. All employees are required to adhere to our strict privacy policies and any employee who violates the privacy policy is subject to termination and other disciplinary measures, up to being criminally prosecuted for the violation.

Trademark Data

After trademark and patent application information is recorded with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the records and associated documents can be inspected by the public and are not confidential, except for documents that are sealed under secrecy orders. Records open to the public are searched by users for the purpose of determining ownership for other property rights with respect to trademarks.

Since IPWatch synchronizes its data with the publicly available USPTO information, we recommend making any data changes with the USPTO directly. Our website is updated regularly to reflect the USPTO data. IPWatch can assist with Assignment, Agency, and incorporation services to help mask public record information at the USPTO. Please contact [email protected] for a price quote appropriate for your specific situation. Traffic Data and Information. Through the combination of both internal and third party tracking code as well as cookies, the following categories of information are tracked when a visitor enters the site: (1) IP address, (2) domain servers, (3) type of computer used to access the Site, and (4) types of web browsers (collectively “Traffic Data”). IPWatch uses such data for general marketing purposes and in order to help enhance customer experience on the website.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous. Personal Information. In order for each customer to access and utilize IPWatch’s search and legal document products and services, IPWatch requires each customer to provide us with personal information (collectively “Personally Identifiable Information”). Personally Identifiable Information includes: (i) “Contact Data” (such as your first and last name, physical street address, city, state, zip code, phone number and email address), (ii) “Financial Data” (such as your credit card number, expiration date, and verification code), (iii) “Demographic Data” (such as your zip code and gender), and (iv) other “Legal Data” (such as your trademark filing date, trademark pending number, mailing information, domicile information and other sensitive information necessary to generate proper legal documents). This Personally Identifiable Information is necessary to generate the legal documents created by our software programs. Please be advised that certain personal information becomes public record upon the filing of documents with the federal government or a regulatory agency in the United States and internationally.

For example, the applicant name and content of a trademark application becomes public after filing with the United States Patent & Trademark Office. In many cases, the United States Patent & Trademark Office will provide this information to third parties for a fee. The US Patent and Trademark Office will also make public the names and addresses of trademark registrants. In some states, fictitious business names, including the name and address of the business owner, must be published in a newspaper. IPWatch’s privacy policy does not cover actions by these third parties.

Please note that Contact Data and Traffic Data is used to gather general statistics regarding our customers and visitors respectively, in order to enhance the consumer experience on the website. We may also use demographic data in a manner that does not identify you specifically or allow you to be contacted but does identify certain criteria about our users in general. For example, we may inform third parties about the number of registered users, number of unique visitors, and the pages most frequently browsed. We also use Contact Data such as name, physical address and email address to provide special information and promotions regarding our products or in order to contact the customer regarding an order. Any Financial Data gather is used strictly for the purposes of processing or completing the financial transaction for your order. Confidentiality and Security of Personal Information.
