What is trademark monitoring and why is it necessary?
Trademark monitoring is the process of regularly checking for new trademark applications that may conflict with your registered mark. It’s essential because the USPTO does not notify you of potential infringements—you must proactively enforce your rights.

Why Monitor Your Trademark?
Even with federal registration, the USPTO does not police trademarks for you. It’s your responsibility to detect and respond to potential conflicts or infringing activity. Failure to act can weaken your rights or lead to brand dilution.
Our monitoring service helps you:
- Detect similar or identical marks filed with the USPTO
- Catch infringers before they gain legal ground
- Preserve the strength and exclusivity of your mark
- Respond within legal deadlines (e.g., file opposition during publication)
What We Monitor
We track and report on:
- New USPTO trademark applications
- Marks published in the Official Gazette
- Identical and confusingly similar marks (visually, phonetically, and semantically)
- Relevant goods/services in the same or overlapping classes
- Updates to potentially infringing marks (status changes, approvals, etc.)
You’ll receive alerts and reports to help you take timely action, such as:
- Filing a Letter of Protest
- Initiating a Notice of Opposition
- Sending a Cease and Desist Letter through legal counsel
Don’t wait for infringement to damage your brand.
