Real-Time Alert When a Tracked Competitor Files a New Patent
On an inbound patent-feed webhook, checks whether the assignee matches a watched competitor and, if so, sends an immediate alert with a plain-English summary of the filing.

What it does
Listens for new patent publications via a webhook from your IP data feed, decides whether the assignee is one of your tracked competitors, and fires an instant alert only for matches so the channel stays signal-heavy.
When to use it
When a single competitor patent can change a roadmap decision and waiting for a weekly digest is too slow. Ideal for strategy leads who want push, not poll.
How it works
- 1An incoming webhook delivers a newly published filing (assignee, title, claims, classification codes).
- 2A logic step checks the assignee against your competitor watchlist and the classification codes against your watched tech area; non-matches are dropped.
- 3OpenAI writes a two-sentence plain-English summary of what the patent claims and why it matters.
- 4The alert, with summary and a link to the filing, is posted to Microsoft Teams.
