What's Included
Your monitoring service includes all of the following - reviewed by a licensed trademark attorney, not just software.
We monitor all new trademark filings at the USPTO to catch anyone attempting to register a mark that's identical or confusingly similar to yours.
Every quarter, your attorney reviews the monitoring results and delivers a written report detailing any potential conflicts and recommended next steps.
We track your registration maintenance deadlines and notify you well in advance so you never miss a Section 8, Section 9, or Section 15 filing.
Beyond the USPTO, we monitor state trademark registrations, business name filings, and common-law sources where unregistered marks may surface.
We flag new domain registrations that incorporate your trademark or confusingly similar variations, helping you catch cybersquatters early.
Every alert is reviewed by a licensed trademark attorney - not automated software. You get actionable legal analysis, not raw data dumps.
Why Reid IP
One annual fee covers everything. No hourly billing for report reviews, no surprise charges for follow-up analysis.
Automated monitoring tools generate noise. Our attorneys review every alert and only report genuine threats that require your attention.
Catching conflicts early - during the application stage - means you can oppose a filing at the USPTO instead of litigating in court. That saves time and money.
When monitoring uncovers a real threat, your attorney is already familiar with your portfolio and can move immediately - whether that means filing an opposition or sending a cease-and-desist.
FAQ
You can search the USPTO's TSDR database yourself - but only for exact matches on the federal register. Professional monitoring uses advanced algorithms to catch phonetic equivalents, visual similarities, and marks in related classes that a manual search would miss. More importantly, an attorney evaluates whether a new filing actually poses a legal risk.
Monitoring begins immediately after enrollment. We configure your watch based on your registered mark, the classes you're registered in, and any additional terms or variations you want covered.
Your attorney will flag the conflict in your quarterly report with a recommended course of action - which may range from "monitor further" to "file an opposition" or "send a cease-and-desist letter." If enforcement action is needed, we can handle that for you as well.
Yes. Monitoring is available for pending applications and unregistered marks. It's particularly useful if you're using a mark in commerce but haven't yet obtained a registration.
