Registering a trademark is half the job. After that it needs watching: is the certificate in force, when does the term end, has a similar application appeared.
Free — in your account
Add your marks by certificate or application number under "My trademarks". We read the state register, show the status, the Nice classes, the term and the days left in it, and remind you about renewal: a year ahead by e-mail, three, two and one month ahead by e-mail and SMS, and on the day the term ends by e-mail. The Renew button next to a mark opens a renewal request to our lawyer.
Monitoring similar applications — done by specialists
Thousands of new applications reach the register every month, and some are similar enough to yours to dilute the brand or block your market altogether. Our specialists regularly review new applications and registrations, compare them with your mark by word and device elements and by Nice classes, and tell you as soon as something similar appears.
What you get
- regular checks of new applications and registrations in the chosen databases
- comparison by word and device elements, with the Nice classes taken into account
- alerts by e-mail and in your account as soon as a similarity is found
- a lawyer's opinion: is it dangerous for you or not
- a ready plan of action — from a letter to the infringer to an opposition against the application
Why timing matters
An opposition against someone else's application has a deadline. Miss it and the similar mark gets registered, and the dispute moves to court — longer and more expensive. Monitoring exists so that you learn about the problem while one letter can still solve it.
Monitoring pricing
The price covers the checks, the alerts and a lawyer's opinion on every match we find. Preparing an opposition or a cease-and-desist letter is quoted separately, always before we start. Tracking the status and the term in your account is always free.
To start monitoring, leave a request — we will confirm the mark, the classes and the countries.
