Know the week someone files a mark like yours.
ipwatch reads every Trade Marks Journal, including the logos, and tells you which newly advertised marks look or sound like yours, with the last day to oppose them.

How it works
- 01
Add the marks you own
Type a mark and its classes, upload a logo and let us read its words, or import a list. Flag a well-known mark to check every class.
- 02
We read every journal
Each weekly Trade Marks Journal is checked against your marks for names that look or sound alike, in the same or related classes. About seven in ten marks are logos, so we read the words in them too.
- 03
Decide before the deadline
You get one email a week with the matches and the last day to oppose: four months from the journal, with no extension. Dismiss, keep an eye on, or mark to oppose, and we remind you 30 and 7 days before.
Check a new name before you file
Search every trade mark advertised since 2014 for marks that look or sound like the one you plan to use. Save each search and download it as a PDF report.
- Spelling variants and sound-alikes common in Indian marks: SHREE and SRI, KRISHNAA and KRISHNA.
- Related classes included, such as software (9) with IT services (42), or clothing (25) with bags (18).
- Every result shows why it matched, the proprietor, class, application number and journal page.

What the data can tell you
ipwatch knows each mark as it was advertised in the Trade Marks Journal. It does not know whether a mark was later registered, opposed, refused or withdrawn, and it cannot see applications not yet advertised. Treat a search as a first screen, not legal advice.
Free while in beta
Watch up to 25 marks and run 40 searches a month. Paid plans are coming; we will tell you before anything changes.
