Clarivate Plc has launched its latest enterprise solution, the Derwent Patent Monitor, designed to improve the efficiency of intellectual property (IP) and research and development (R&D) patent reviews. Announced on November 24, 2025, this innovative tool aims to expedite decisions related to patentability, freedom to operate (FTO), and potential infringement issues.
The Derwent Patent Monitor leverages proprietary data to provide AI-powered evaluations of potential threats. This technology enhances the speed of first-pass reviews, enabling patent professionals to identify critical risks more swiftly. With this feature, teams can make informed decisions with greater confidence, streamlining the patent review process.
Collaboration and Efficiency in Patent Reviews
According to Shandon Quinn, Vice President of Patent Intelligence at Clarivate, one of the most significant challenges faced by IP leaders is improving collaboration with R&D teams. Quinn noted that the traditional processes are often hindered by isolated teams and disjointed tools. The Derwent Patent Monitor aims to bridge this gap by integrating flexible collaboration and review workflows with unique patent data and AI technology.
This solution is based on data from the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI), which is recognized as the most comprehensive database of over 67 million invention summaries curated by more than 850 subject matter experts at Clarivate. With this extensive resource, patent teams can save valuable time when reviewing patents relevant to their projects.
The software is purpose-built for collaboration, facilitating structured, project-based reviews and real-time feedback. This eliminates the cumbersome reliance on scattered emails and spreadsheets, promoting a more aligned and informed approach to patent monitoring. As a result, teams can execute faster and more coherent patent reviews.
Impact on Intellectual Property Management
The introduction of the Derwent Patent Monitor is expected to significantly enhance the decision-making process for teams involved in patent management. By streamlining workflows and providing critical insights, the tool empowers companies to file stronger patents while minimizing the risks of infringement.
Clarivate continues to position itself as a leader in transformative intelligence solutions. The company offers a range of enriched data, insights, analytics, and expert services across various domains, including academia, government, intellectual property, and life sciences.
