How trademark monitoring works

1

Set up your watch

Tell us which marks and classes to monitor across which registers.

2

Daily scans

New filings are checked every day for potential conflicts.

3

Instant alerts

Get notified immediately when a similar mark is filed.

4

Take action

Decide whether to oppose within the legal deadline.

Why monitoring matters

Trademark offices do not automatically block conflicting applications. It's your responsibility as a brand owner to identify and oppose new filings that threaten your mark.

  • UK IPO - You have 2 months after publication to file an opposition
  • EUIPO - 3-month opposition period after publication
  • USPTO - 30-day opposition period (extendable)

Without monitoring, you might miss these windows entirely, allowing a competing mark to be registered.

What we monitor for

  • Identical marks - Exact matches to your registered mark
  • Phonetic matches - Names that sound similar to yours
  • Visual similarities - Marks that look alike
  • Class conflicts - New filings in your registered classes and related ones

Frequently Asked Questions

What is trademark monitoring?

Trademark monitoring continuously scans registers for new applications that could conflict with your existing mark. When a similar mark is filed, you're alerted so you can take action before the opposition deadline passes.

Why do I need to monitor my trademark?

Trademark offices don't block conflicting applications automatically. It's up to brand owners to monitor and file oppositions within the legal deadline. Without monitoring, competitors could register confusingly similar marks.

Set up trademark monitoring and never miss a conflicting filing again.
