Daily surveillance
With professional information systems in the trademark registers.
Our brand guards monitor daily if there are any trademark applications that can infringe on your trademark. This way, we’ll make sure you are--and stay--unique and distinctive.
With professional information systems in the trademark registers.
Our legal experts assess everything comprehensively.
We will only notify you when it’s relevant.
After you have registered your trademark, it’s wise to also watch it. After all, your trademark is valuable and it deserves to be defended. Once a trademark is registered (such as in the Benelux and in the EU), the concerned official trademark organization has done its job. It will not subsequently assess if any new trademark applications by third parties could possibly infringe on your registered trademark. That is left to “the market.” In other words: the trademark owner needs to keep an eye on any possible infringements on their trademark themselves.
With our trademark surveillance, we’ll take this off your hands. We’ll track down potential risks daily, and we’ll check if there are any new trademark applications that could cause confusion with your trademark. We’ll assess the similarity between the trademarks and between the goods and/or services. We’ll also see if there is any overlap in country or region. Then we’ll estimate the legal chances of success. If we come across a trademark application that’s a potential risk, then we’ll alert you: we’ll notify you quickly and advise you on the possible next steps.
This careful surveillance is very important to be able to optimally protect your trademark. That is why we offer one year of trademark surveillance for free for each new trademark application.
We only notify you in case of possibly conflicting, new trademark applications. When no infringing trademark applications are identified, you will not hear from us. No news is good news! In case of any conflicting trademark applications, we’ll immediately contact you. You’ll then decide if the identified new trademark application is problematic. If you want, we can file an objection quickly and ensure that we can take the next steps during the designated opposition period.
The longer you allow trademark infringement, the weaker your legal position is going to become. The distinctive power of your trademark decreases and can lose its value. It’s therefore important to take action against infringement of your trademark in time. We can assist you with that.
If you decide to take action against a conflicting trademark application, you can choose to involve our legal experts. We can advise and assist you with every step. For example:
Our experience is that more than 95% of conflicts get settled without a lawsuit.

We can surveil both word elements as well as design elements of a trademark, meaning two different forms of surveillance with different subscriptions. Do you have a word/device mark? In most cases, we will advise you to make use of both types of surveillance. We can provide surveillance for your trademark in several territories:
We will be happy to advise you in choosing the right surveillance subscription. We also offer surveillance of designs, trademark surveillance (wordmarks or device marks) as well as design surveillance on an annual subscription.
