Questel and Clarivate are broad IP platforms. They cover patent portfolios, prior art search, and general patent analytics — not FRAND specifically. PatentPulse is the only tool built exclusively around FRAND disputes, SEP licensing, and competition law. We monitor the 12 most relevant regulatory and practitioner sources, maintain a structured database of 31+ landmark rate decisions with jurisdiction-level methodology comparisons, and deliver AI-synthesized briefings tailored to FRAND practitioners. You're not getting a general-purpose IP dashboard — you're getting a specialist analyst that never sleeps.
On price: Questel and Clarivate typically run $50K–200K/year under annual contracts. PatentPulse starts at $99/month with no contract.
Active monitoring spans: United States (Federal Circuit, USPTO PTAB, DOJ Antitrust, FTC), EU/UPC (European Commission, Unified Patent Court — 1,731+ decisions indexed), United Kingdom, Germany (Mannheim/Munich/Düsseldorf courts), China (CNIPA), and International bodies (ETSI, 3GPP, WIPO).
Starter covers US, EU/UPC, and UK. Professional adds Germany, China, South Korea, and Japan — now covering all 9 active FRAND jurisdictions. Enterprise adds fully custom coverage (Brazil, India, additional regions) on request.
Each briefing is AI-synthesized from overnight monitoring across all active sources. It includes the top 5 FRAND developments ranked by relevance, jurisdiction tags, topic classification (rate-setting methodology, FRAND commitment disputes, SEP validity, injunction and hold-up, etc.), and relevance scores. You get a practitioner-ready summary — not a raw feed dump. Historical briefings are fully searchable by keyword, jurisdiction, topic, and date range.
Yes. The live dashboard is publicly accessible — browse the development feed, FRAND rates database, and jurisdictional methodology comparisons right now. For full briefing access and a 24-hour trial link, email hello@patentpulse.polsia.app.
You'll be charged immediately and receive access confirmation by email. Daily briefings start the next morning at 6 AM UTC. Cancel anytime — no lock-in, no annual contract.
Yes, on Professional and Enterprise. The API exposes the development feed (with filters for jurisdiction, topic, date range), daily briefings, and the FRAND rates database as JSON. Useful for integrating into internal research workflows, monitoring dashboards, or case management systems. Documentation sent on subscription confirmation.
