After you have invested the time and money to register a trademark, our trademark watch service helps you protect that investment. By monitoring your trademark for potential infringement, you can quickly and accurately respond to any possible conflicting marks or new registrations. We monitor your trademark and provide you regular and detailed reports of any findings.
A trademark watch service is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to protect your intellectual property. Our trademark watch helps you determine if anyone else is registering a similar name, logo, or design by 'watching' new applications filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ( USPTO ). Staying informed about these registrations allows you to quickly react and respond to any new registrations that conflict with your protected mark. This can potentially save you thousands in legal fees down the road, and help you save time while protecting your valuable intellectual property.
There are a few options you have once you have found that another company is attempting to register or use your existing mark that are only possible with a trademark watch service. With these options, you can potentially save money by preventing an application from progressing.
You may also want to consult an attorney who will be able to advise you about the steps necessary to protect your mark.
Whether your business needs a trademark or a copyright largely depends upon what you want to protect.
A trademark protects words, marks, or symbols that identify goods or services offered for sale. The primary business purpose of a trademark is to protect the identity and brand of a product. Some common examples of trademarks include a brand name or a design used on packaging.
A copyright protects an original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium. Common examples of copyright-able works include songs, movies, books, and photos.
You will receive updates from MyCorporation on a regular basis. The reports will provide you with information based upon the type of watch ordered—new trademark applications and/or new trademark publications.
Your watch reports can be forwarded to you electronically (via email), via U.S. mail, or via UPS (for a minimal surcharge).
