What we can do for you:
Standard Watching
We monitor newly published trademarks of the official national registers and inform you of word or figurative marks that could be confused with your sign due to identity or similarity.
Competitor Watching
We monitor all newly published trademark registrations of a company or person in the jurisdictions of your choice and report them to you. We can optionally narrow down the watch to certain classes of goods or services.
Company Name Watch
We identify newly registered company names that are identical or almost identical to your name. In doing so, we also consider terms that are pronounced the same way but written differently. You will receive your information quarterly by e-mail.
Domain Watch
We report domains to you that are identical to your search term. We monitor the top and other second-level domains of the selected countries, international top-level domains, and the most critical generic top-level domains.
Design Watch
We monitor national designs, international designs, and Community designs. We can either watch owners or objects. With your reports, you will receive copies of the samples found.

Talk to us!
A particular challenge is to provide you with just the "right" amount of notes. While you wish to receive fewer notes, another client may prefer more and select the most relevant hits himself. The optimum depends on your personal preferences and internal workflow. Please let us know because it is often the details that matter.
