Version 1.1 · Effective 2 October 2026

GuardMyMark is software. We are not a law firm, we are not trademark attorneys, and nothing we send you is legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship.

The same commitment is a binding term of the contract: Terms of Service, section 20.3.

What we do

We read the public trademark registers listed on our website — today the United States register, with the EU and WIPO added as each office grants us access — compare each new filing with the marks you asked us to watch, and tell you which ones look similar and when the published opposition window closes.

What a score means

A similarity score is the output of our own comparison — phonetics, spelling and Nice-class relatedness — on public register data. It says a filing resembles your mark. It does not say that the filing infringes your rights, that an opposition would succeed, or that you should file one. We never make that recommendation.

What a date means

Closing dates are computed from the publication date in the register and the deadline rules of the office concerned. Registers are corrected, deadlines are extended, and rules change. Treat every date as a prompt to act early, not as the last word: confirm it with the office or your attorney before you rely on it.

Your decision

Whether to oppose, negotiate, re-file or do nothing is a legal decision. Forward the notice and the evidence pack to a trademark attorney in the jurisdiction concerned and let them advise you.

Mistakes

Our ingest can be late, incomplete or wrong, and a filing that matters can be missed. We publish how we handle that in our Terms. Watching a mark with us does not transfer responsibility for that mark to us; it stays with you and your advisers.
