Six parts, five of them running today
The system has one job and does it in one pass a day. The ingest pulls the new US applications from the USPTO’s own bulk files and stores each one with the dates the register records for it, publication date included. Nothing is interpreted at that stage: it is the register, copied.
Each new filing is then scored against every mark under watch: how the two marks sound, how they are spelled, which words they share, and how close their Nice classes sit. The narrow band that lands on the line gets a second reading before anything is sent. What comes out is a number out of 100 carrying the points each signal contributed, so you can disagree with it.
Your sensitivity setting decides what survives. Anything under the threshold you chose is kept and never sent. What clears it gets the fact the rest of the process exists for: the day its window closes, computed from the publication date in the record rather than from the day you happened to find out. Those filings arrive in one email a week, soonest closing date first, each with a PDF your attorney can act on. A week with nothing above your threshold sends no email at all.
Five of the six parts below run today. The lookalike-domain watch says so on its own card, and the EU and WIPO ingests are written and waiting on office access.
Features
What you get
The deadline clock
Every filing we show you carries the day its window closes and the days left, computed from the publication date the register itself records.
Learn moreSimilarity you can audit
A score out of 100 with the five signals that produced it, so you can judge the match yourself instead of trusting a black box.
Learn moreOne email a week
One email per week, soonest closing window first, with only the filings that passed the threshold you set — and nothing at all when there are none.
Learn moreThe register, read every day
A daily pass over the US register that is versioned, replayable and checked for record-count anomalies, so a quiet failure cannot pass for a quiet week.
Learn moreA PDF for your attorney
One PDF per filing: the application, the applicant, the classes, the score with every signal behind it, the closing date and the sources.
Learn moreLookalike domains
Domains that look like your mark, found as their certificates appear in public logs, scored by the same engine and flagged when they can receive mail.

Questions, answered
Do you tell me whether to object to a filing?
No, and we never will. We are not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice. A notice gives you the filing, how similar it scored, the signals behind that score, and the day the window closes. Whether to act, and how, is for you and your attorney — every notice ends there.
Which registers do you read today?
The US register (USPTO), every day. The EU (EUIPO) and WIPO ingests are written and tested and are waiting on office access; when they go live they are included in the plan you are already on, at the same price. We would rather ship a US watch that works than promise three registers that do not.
A watch service costs $39 a year. Why is this $29 a month?
Because the cheap ones are unfiltered feeds: a saved query, returning everything it matched, for you to sort out. We score every filing on phonetics, spelling, shared words and class overlap, filter to the threshold you set, lead with the closing date, and attach a pack your attorney can act on. If you want a raw feed of everything, those services are genuinely better value than we are.
Will it bury me in marks that have nothing to do with mine?
That is the way this kind of product dies, so it is the thing we measure. On our own hand-labelled set of 111 mark pairs the false-positive rate is 5.6% at the default sensitivity, the set is re-run on every change to the scorer, each watch has its own sensitivity slider, and “not relevant” on a filing is recorded and fed back into that set.
