Registration is the down payment. Monitoring is the ownership.
The USPTO maintains a register; it does not patrol one. Daily USPTO watching on every plan, a monthly nationwide sweep on Nationwide Watch, every hit attorney-reviewed, and a written report every month whether or not anything was found.
A registration only stays alive if it’s enforced.
American trademark law hands the duty to police your mark to one person — you. Silence is a course of conduct. Every infringer you tolerate is evidence a defendant will later point to. Monitoring is how you stop tolerating.
We watch the register
New filings hit the USPTO every day. Your mark is checked against them as they publish, not after the window closes.
An attorney reviews it
No keyword bots dumping false positives into your inbox. A real attorney reads every match and decides whether it matters.
A written report — found or not
You get a report every month whether or not anything turned up, so you always know the watch is running. Silence means nothing was found, not that nobody’s looking.
Enforcement at member rate
If a hit needs teeth, the cease and desist is built on the evidence monitoring already gathered — at half the standalone price.

USPTO Register Monitoring
Nationwide Common-Law Monitoring
Not sure which plan you need? Most infringements never reach the USPTO — Nationwide Watch catches the ones that don’t. Either way, send me your registration number and I’ll set it up.
Member-rate enforcement.
Monitoring finds the problem. Enforcement solves it. Because your monitoring already gathered the evidence, the cease and desist is half the price it would cost a non-member — and built on facts, not a guess.
Investigated cease & desist
Attorney-drafted, built on your monitoring evidence, sent to the infringer on your behalf.
Same letter, without a plan
The identical cease and desist at the non-member rate. Monitoring pays for itself the first time you need one.

01What does trademark monitoring actually do?
Monitoring watches the USPTO register and the broader market for new filings and uses that could conflict with your mark. The moment a potentially infringing application or use appears, you find out while you still have time to act — instead of years later, when the other side has built a brand around your name.
02What is the difference between the $49 and $99 plans?
Both plans include daily USPTO register watching and every hit attorney-reviewed, with a written report every month whether or not anything was found. The $49 USPTO Watch watches the federal register. The $99 Nationwide Watch adds a monthly nationwide common-law sweep — state registrations, business filings, domain registrations, and marketplace listings — because most infringements never reach the USPTO at all.
03Do I have to enforce every hit you find?
No. You decide what deserves a response. Every hit is reviewed by an attorney and explained in plain English, so you know which ones matter and which ones don't. You are never required to send a cease and desist — but when you want to, members pay a discounted rate.
04What does a cease and desist cost if I need one?
Members pay $500 for an investigated, attorney-drafted cease and desist letter. The same letter costs $1,200 without a monitoring plan. Either way, the letter is built on evidence your monitoring already gathered, not a guess.
05Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monitoring is month-to-month with no contract. Cancel anytime and you will not be billed again. Most owners keep it running because the alternative — finding out about a copycat years after it started — costs far more than the monthly fee.
