WATCH · ACTIVE
The USPTO will not tell you when somebody files a mark that looks like yours. It publishes the application for opposition, waits thirty days, and if nobody objects, it proceeds. Miss that window and your options narrow from a straightforward opposition to a cancellation action.
Monitoring watches the register and the market on your behalf and puts an alert in front of you while the cheap options are still available.
What is included
New filing alerts
We watch newly filed and newly published USPTO applications for marks similar to yours in related classes.
Opposition window tracking
When a conflicting mark is published, you get the alert with the deadline attached, not weeks after it passed.
Marketplace surveillance
Monitoring of major online marketplaces for listings using your brand name without authorisation.
Domain watch
Alerts on new domain registrations that are confusingly similar to your mark, including common misspellings.
Monthly summary
A single monthly digest of everything found, so a quiet month takes thirty seconds to read.
Escalation options
When something needs action, we set out what your options are and what each one costs before you commit to anything.
