Trademark
Watching Service
Necessary
Beneficial
Cost Effective
GazetteWatch performs a weekly watch and review of the Official Gazette
(OG) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) web
site to determine if any identical or confusingly similar conflicting
marks exist for a cost-efficient, fixed annual fee. Our watching service
will alert you, the trademark owner, to the publication of potential
confusing or conflicting names or designs which may infringe one or
more of your trademarks, before they become registered trademarks.
GazetteWatch will also watch the USPTO site for newly filed applications.
Necessary
As
a trademark owner, it is your obligation to actively police the market
and potential infringers in order to insure that your trademark rights
remain intact. Diligence is not an option, it is a necessity.
Beneficial
The
USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office)publishes a Weekly
Trademark Gazette listing all names and designs which have been approved
by the USPTO for registration as trademarks. Over 200,000 trademark
applications are "published" each year. The USPTO publishes
these potential trademarks and/or service marks in the Official Gazette
to enable the general public to oppose any trademark that may infringe
upon their rights prior to actual registration of the mark in question.
GazetteWatch will insure that you are put on immediate notice of any
potential infringing marks.
Opposition
to potential trademarks must be received by the USPTO within thirty
(30) days of publishing in the Official Gazette. This is a very short
time period for the busy entrepreneur or corporation. GazetteWatch
will be your partner in diligently protecting your valuable intellectual
property.
