TRADE MARK WATCH

A trademark watch is an essential part of an effective trademark maintenance and enforcement program. Trademark watch services are designed to alert subscribers to potentially conflicting trademark applications and registrations as they are published for opposition and cancellation purposes in official gazettes throughout the world.

WHY WE CONDUCT TRADEMARK WATCH

In order to police your trade mark rights, it is necessary to keep an eye on the market to see whether others are making use of your trade marks without authorization. One simple and inexpensive way to do this is to institute a watch service.

BENEFITs OF TRADE MARK WATCH

A trade mark watch can be implemented to watch for third party uses of a trade mark and helps a person to protect their mark once it is in use and/or registered. Trade marks can be watched in the form of a trade mark application watch or a trade mark publication watch.

This is a cost effective way to find out at an early stage if others are planning to use a trade mark the same as or similar to yours

It is always easiest to deal with such a situation before the later party starts to build up rights.
