How does Trademark Watch Work?

Understand the processes behind our trademark watch service


Trademark Watch helps you identify potential conflicts with your trademarks by monitoring new applications globally. Here’s how it works:

Step 1 - Setting Up the Watch

Choose whether to monitor a wordmark (text) or a figurative mark (logo). Once set up, the system begins scanning all relevant jurisdictions and NICE classes.

Wordmark Watch: Detects similar words or phrases Figurative Watch: Detects similar logos.

Step 2 - Monitoring Trademark Applications

Trademark Watch automatically scans newly published applications weekly and uploads confusingly similar results to RightHub.

Step 3 - Receiving Alerts for hits

On a weekly basis, you’ll receive an in-system alert plus an email, allowing you to review the hits within RightHub and determine if action is necessary.

Step 4 - Reviewing application

New applications are compared against your trademark portfolio, checking for overlaps in jurisdictions, goods/services, and NICE classes.

Step 5 - Taking Action

You can take action directly within RightHub by creating an opposition matter. Relevant details are pre-filled automatically by the system, and deadlines are tracked automatically.
