| Clients hire us to monitor ongoing events in specific technologies and industries. Events include issuing of significant patents, breaking business news, publishing of major articles, the announcement of new proposed regulations, new products launches, and other "happenings" that may impact their field of interest. When major events occur, we send them a Technology Alert via email, fax or phone according to their wishes and the significance of the event. Events are logged on a web site providing a historical record of their field of interest. Technology Scouting Reports are often used in conjunction with Technology Support Portals. |
