Trademark Watching: Protect Your Trademark from Infringement
Your brand is valuable—but registration alone doesn’t guarantee protection against trademark infringement. In many countries, trademark offices don’t check whether a new trademark is identical or similar to an existing one. As a result, highly similar trademarks can be registered and even used without your knowledge.
With trademark watching, we continuously scan the trademark registers. If an identical or confusingly similar trademark is filed for comparable goods or services, we alert you immediately. This allows you to take timely action.
Why Is Trademark Watching Important?
When a similar trademark is registered, it can cause confusion and weaken your trademark’s distinctiveness and recognition. Without active monitoring, such conflicts are often only discovered once the conflicting trademark is already in use, for example, online or at a trade fair.
Trademark watching keeps you informed in time. This enables you to act quickly, such as by filing an opposition. Acting fast increases the chances of a successful objection, helping you safeguard your trademark, prevent dilution, and reduce legal costs.
How Does It Work?
- We monitor the official trademark registers in the Benelux, EU, and worldwide
- You receive immediate alerts in case of potential infringement
- Each alert includes a clear and concise recommendation
- You decide whether to take action
