Trademark Protection Package
Filing plus ongoing monitoring and enforcement support, bundled for brands with more than one mark to defend.
Registering a mark creates the right. Protecting it is a continuing activity — watching for conflicting applications, monitoring the market for infringing use, and acting early enough that the problem is still small.
A registration nobody watches is worth considerably less than one that is monitored. Conflicting marks proceed to registration unopposed, infringing sellers become established, and by the time the proprietor notices, the remedy is litigation rather than a letter.

What a protection arrangement covers
- Watch on new applications in your classes and in related classes
- Alerts on marks published in the journal that resemble yours
- Monitoring of marketplaces and online listings for infringing use
- Domain name monitoring for confusingly similar registrations
- Renewal tracking so no registration lapses
- A defined allocation of notices or oppositions within the term
Why the journal watch matters most
The four-month opposition window after publication is the cheapest point at which to stop a conflicting mark. Opposing costs a fraction of what rectification costs later, and far less than litigating against an established user.
That window is easy to miss, because nobody notifies you. The registry publishes; it does not warn affected proprietors. A watch service exists precisely because the burden of noticing sits entirely on you.
Use it or risk losing it
A registered mark that has not been used for a continuous period of five years and three months is vulnerable to removal on the application of an aggrieved person.
Keeping evidence of continuous use — dated invoices, packaging, advertising and turnover under the mark — is what defends against that. Organisations that maintain the registration but not the evidence are in a weaker position than they assume.
Escalation, in order of cost
- A watch alert, allowing opposition within the window
- A cease and desist notice, which resolves a large share of matters
- A marketplace takedown request, where the use is on a platform
- Opposition proceedings before the registry
- Rectification, to remove a mark already registered
- Civil action for infringement or passing off, with an interim injunction
How we handle it
- 1 Portfolio review We map what you hold, which classes are covered and where the gaps are relative to what you sell.
- 2 Setting the watch Monitoring is configured across your classes, related classes and phonetic variants.
- 3 Alerts and assessment Where a conflicting application appears, we assess whether it genuinely threatens your rights before recommending action.
- 4 Acting within the window Where opposition is warranted, it is filed inside the four-month window while it is still the cheap remedy.
- 5 Market monitoring Marketplace and online use is monitored, with takedowns and notices issued as needed.
- 6 Renewal management Renewal dates are tracked and filed ahead of expiry so nothing lapses.
Frequently asked questions
Does the registry tell me if someone files a similar mark?
No. The registry publishes applications; it does not notify affected proprietors. The burden of noticing sits entirely on you, which is why a watch exists.
Why oppose rather than wait?
Because opposition within the four-month window costs a fraction of rectification later, and far less than litigating against a user who has become established in the meantime.
Can my registration be removed for non-use?
Yes, after a continuous period of five years and three months without use, on the application of an aggrieved person. Keeping dated evidence of use is the practical defence.
What about counterfeit listings online?
Marketplaces operate takedown processes for registered rights holders, and that is usually faster and cheaper than a notice to the seller. Both can run in parallel.
Is monitoring worth it for a single mark?
It depends on what the brand is worth to you. For a business whose name is its main asset, the cost of watching is small against the cost of discovering a conflict too late.
