Trademark monitoring

Trademark monitoring serves to protect your own trademark. Through monitoring, we permanently check whether third parties are registering similar or identical commercial designations. By systematically monitoring the trademark registers, potential collisions can be identified and averted at an early stage.

What is trademark monitoring?

Trademark monitoring is a continuous search in which the registers relevant to the trademark or certain selected registers are regularly checked. The aim is to identify unauthorized applications, dilutions or even infringements in connection with one’s own trademark.

Why should you carry out trademark monitoring?

Trademark monitoring offers numerous advantages for the trademark owner:

Protection of trademark integrity:
Continuous monitoring ensures that your trademark is protected against misuse and prevents third parties from illegally registering similar signs.
Early detection of infringements:
By identifying potential trademark infringements promptly, you can react early and avoid expensive legal disputes by filing objections.
Cost savings:
Preventive measures through regular monitoring can reduce costs in the long term that would be incurred through costly legal disputes.
