Trademark Watch (Journal Monitoring)
Get alerted when someone files a mark similar to yours — in time to oppose it.
Copycat marks get registered when nobody objects in time. We monitor the weekly Trade Marks Journal for marks that look, sound or mean the same as yours in relevant classes, and alert you with our recommendation while the four-month opposition window is still open.
Timeline: 12 months

Frequently asked questions
Why not just sue later?
You still can, but an opposition is far cheaper and quicker than a suit, and it prevents the copier from getting a registration of their own.
