Why watch the registers
Trademark offices publish new applications. If a similar mark appears and nobody notices, it may be registered, and it becomes harder to deal with later. Catching it early gives you the most options.
The time you have to react to a published application is often short and differs from country to country. A watch means the clock does not start without you knowing.
What is included
- Regular checks of new filings in the countries and categories you choose
- Matching by spelling, sound and meaning, not just exact letters
- A specialist reads the hits and filters out the noise
- A short note on anything that looks relevant, with the dates that apply to it
- A periodic summary, even when nothing was found
How it works

- We watchNew filings are checked against your marks on a regular schedule.
- We tell youWhen something looks close, you get a message with what we found and what we think.
- You chooseThe next step is yours. We explain the options and can carry out what you decide.
Monitoring tells you what has been filed. It does not stop anyone from filing, and it works only for the countries and categories you include.
