About Trademark Watch & Infringement Advisory
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
A trademark watch monitors each week's Trade Marks Journal and new filings for marks similar to yours, so you can oppose within the four-month window. If someone is already using a confusingly similar mark, a registered owner can sue for infringement, and even unregistered marks can be protected by a passing-off action; most disputes start with a cease-and-desist notice.
Infringement is easier to stop early. Watch reports flag similar filings in your classes and related classes; marketplace and domain monitoring catches unauthorised sellers.
We send cease-and-desist notices, coordinate marketplace takedowns and work with partner advocates where litigation is needed. If you receive an infringement notice, we assess the claim before you reply.
| Watch scope | Trade Marks Journal and new applications in relevant classes |
|---|---|
| Action window | 4 months from publication to oppose |
| Registered marks | Infringement action |
| Unregistered marks | Passing-off action |
Work that the law requires a advocate (for litigation) to sign or represent is delivered through Indus Tax's partner professionals; our team prepares the records, coordinates the filing and stays your single point of contact.
