It's easier to squash infringement early. Catching potential infringers, even those who didn't realize they were infringing, allows trademark holders to stop problems before they turn into big problems.
Because once Pandora's Box of infringement opens, it's hard to get things back inside.

Trademark Monitoring FAQ
All subscriptions include a yearly trademark audit. This includes:
- Reviewing your use of the trademark for proper utilization
- Evaluating the scope of your trademark registration
- Determining the need for licensing agreements between associated entities using the mark
- Providing a maintenance filing reminder if Sections 8 or 15 are upcoming
- Updating ownership or address information to keep registrations up to date
Trademark audits take place after the first four (4) quarters of billing and yearly thereafter. After the fourth quarterly billing statement, you will receive a scheduling email, at which time you can schedule your audit.
Trademark monitoring does NOT include:
- Litigation or pre-litigation
- Representations before the TTAB in opposition proceedings or cancellation proceedings (billed hourly)
- Filing of additional trademark applications
- Drafting of license agreements, franchise agreements, or coexistence agreements
- Cease and Desist letters
- More than one mark. Each mark must be monitored separately (ask about multi mark discounts)
- Filing fees due and payable to the USPTO
NOTE: The Basic monitoring simply includes us keeping you in our docketing software,
- First, we get you into the system.
- Then, we run an internal conflict of interest check. This is required by the Bar. In situations where the trademark is already registered, the odds of a conflict are low. However, if there is a conflict of interest during intake, we refund 100% of your fee.
- Once we confirm we're set to work with you, we will send you a follow up email discussing next steps. We may need you to sign a "Change of Attorney Representation" form from the USPTO to permit us to act as your attorney in front of the trademark office.
- We will set up your searches in our two search systems, Markify and AltLegal.
- For clients with physical products, we can also work with Customs & Border Patrol to stop infringing products from entering the country on your behalf.
- Monthly services can be cancelled at any time. Your services will be provided until the end of that billing period. All of our fees are deemed earned upon the due date. No refunds are issued pro-rata.
- Annual subscription fees may be cancelled on or before the annual subscription date. Your audit, access to assistance with customs and border patrol, and access to your attorney to file your maintenance documents is immediately available to you. For this reason, fees are deemed due upon receipt, and no pro-rata refunds will be issued.
Trademark Monitoring is where we proactively scan USPTO filings using two different types of software. We make sure there are no filings being made against your mark, and that there are not filings that are "confusingly similar" to your mark (we make sure the Examiners aren't missing something, as they do). We also assist you with the Amazon Brand Registry, any trademark assignments, and send you reminders for renewals and filings of incontestability. We serve as your "attorney of record" after your registration is complete, and will "babysit" your mark.
The docketing only option simply adds you to our trademark docketing platform, which tracks deadlines and ensures there are no missed communications from the USPTO (that would result in your registration's cancellation!). This option does not include any monitoring services- we let you know if there's a deadline or if you need to respond to a legal request. It's akin to a "registered agent for your trademark."
