Watch

Trademark monitoring services or trademark watch services search trademark registers for potential trademark infringement of your client’s trademarks. There are a variety of ways to watch for infringement and you’ll need to select a service that offers the scope of monitoring that serves your client’s needs. But generally speaking, trademark watch services monitor trademark registers in a particular jurisdiction and look for newly-filed applications, newly-published marks, and/or registered marks that are the same or similar to your client’s mark in the same class of goods/services. You may also elect to monitor the mark in additional classes of goods/services. Trademark watch services notify you any time a mark appears that meets your particular criteria, allowing you to assess the situation and take action to stop potential infringement if warranted.
