An effective trademark protection strategy includes post-registration enforcement measures. After your trademark has been registered — or, in the case of an unregistered trademark, after the trademark has been put into use — it is important to monitor for competing trademarks entering the marketplace so that you can take immediate action to prevent the appropriation or dilution of your trademark rights.

To assist you in enforcing your rights in your trademark, we offer yearly or monthly monitoring programs that identify competing trademarks entering the marketplace. We can screen trademark applications and registrations, corporate and business names and/or domain names and provide you with regular reports identifying names and marks that are confusing with your trademark.
