WHAT WE MONITOR

Six ways Searchmarq protects your marks

The most complete trademark monitoring software built directly on live USPTO data.

Status Change Alerts

Instant notification the moment your trademark's USPTO status changes — from pending to registered, or from registered to cancelled or abandoned. Never miss a critical update.

Opposition Window Tracking

Get alerted when a trademark is published for opposition, opening the 30-day window to file. Miss this window and you permanently lose the right to challenge the mark.

Similar Mark Conflict Scans

Weekly scans detect new trademark applications that are phonetically, visually, or conceptually similar to your marks — giving you time to act before they register.

Renewal Deadline Reminders

USPTO requires maintenance filings between years 5–6 and 9–10, then every 10 years. Miss one and your registration is cancelled. Searchmarq tracks every deadline automatically.

Brand Portfolio Monitoring

Watch an entire company's trademark portfolio at once. Every new filing, status change, or expiration from any entity in the USPTO database — in a single feed.

Webhook & API Integration

Push trademark events directly into your own systems via webhook. Ideal for law firms, brand management platforms, and developers building IP intelligence into their products.

THE COST OF NOT MONITORING

One missed alert can cost thousands

FAQ

Common questions about trademark monitoring

What is trademark monitoring?
Trademark monitoring is the process of watching the USPTO trademark database for changes that affect your registered marks — including status updates (registration, cancellation, abandonment), opposition filing windows, new applications that could conflict with your mark, and upcoming renewal or maintenance deadlines.
Why do I need trademark monitoring?
Without monitoring, you can miss the 30-day opposition window when a conflicting mark is published for opposition — and lose your right to challenge it. You can also miss renewal deadlines (Section 8 and Section 15 declarations are due between years 5–6 and 9–10, and every 10 years after registration) that can result in your registration being cancelled.
How often does Searchmarq check for changes?
Searchmarq syncs with USPTO data daily and sends real-time email alerts as soon as a monitored trademark's status changes. Weekly conflict scans check for newly filed applications that may overlap with your marks.
Can I monitor a competitor's trademark?
Yes. You can monitor any USPTO trademark — your own registrations, competitor marks, or marks you want to oppose. Brand monitoring lets you watch an entire portfolio belonging to any company.
What is the difference between mark monitoring and brand monitoring?
Mark monitoring tracks a single USPTO trademark by serial number. Brand monitoring tracks every trademark filed by a specific company or owner — so you get alerted any time that entity files, updates, or loses a trademark registration.
How much does trademark monitoring cost?
Searchmarq's Protect plan is $25/month and includes monitoring for up to 5 marks with real-time status alerts, weekly conflict scans, and milestone email notifications. The Pro plan is $150/month for unlimited marks.
