Trademark monitoring, all year.
Continuous surveillance of your trademarks, with a monthly attorney review and an alert as soon as a likely conflict turns up.
Starting at $995 per year, flat-fee
Trademark monitoring is a watch service that flags new trademark applications and uses that could conflict with yours, so you can act before a copycat registers or builds a following.
Modern Mark’s flat-fee annual package includes continuous monitoring, a monthly attorney review of the results, immediate notice of likely infringement, and discounts on enforcement if you need it.
What is trademark monitoring?
A watch on new trademark filings and other uses of names like yours. The service compares new USPTO applications and other sources against your marks and flags the ones that could cause confusion.
Every flagged result gets an attorney review. Most hits are harmless, and the few that matter usually come with a deadline.
Why should I monitor my trademark?
The USPTO checks new applications against the register, but examiners can miss a conflict, and nobody at the USPTO watches the marketplace for copycats. Watching is the owner’s job.
An owner who lets copycats spread can weaken the mark over time, and a conflicting registration is much harder to remove after it issues. Catching an application when it is published lets you oppose it within 30 days, extendable up to 180. See how trademark oppositions work.
What does the monitoring package include?
Continuous surveillance of your trademarks, a monthly review of the monitoring results, immediate notice if likely infringement is detected, and discounts on enforcement services if a problem needs action.
If a conflict needs action, the options run from a letter through an opposition or a takedown. See trademark enforcement.
How much does trademark monitoring cost?
Modern Mark’s annual monitoring package starts at $995 a year, flat-fee. Monitoring clients also get discounts on enforcement services.
Do I need monitoring if my trademark is registered?
Yes. Registration gives you the rights, and monitoring tells you when someone may be infringing them, while there is still time to act.
Monitoring also protects a pending application, because a similar mark filed after yours can still slip through. See trademark registration.

More questions.
Q01What happens when monitoring finds a conflict?
We review it and tell you whether it needs action and what the options are. Many conflicts end with a letter. Others need an opposition, a cancellation or a takedown.
Q02Is monitoring a one-time service?
It runs a year at a time, because new filings appear every week.
