Patent search: application status

How can I monitor a patent application status?

If the patent application is filed in USPTO, go to PAIR Webpage, select Private PAIR or Public PAIR, and begin a search by various numbers such as application number, publication number, etc. You can also use USPTO's Global Dossier database for US patent application status. 

If it is not a US patent application, you may use USPTO's Global Dossier database. You can do a search by individual application number or a patent number.
