Find copycat trademarks in time to oppose them
New trademark applications are published in the Trade Marks Journal, and anyone can oppose one, but only within 4 months. That deadline can’t be extended. BrandKavach checks every new journal for names that look or sound like your brand and emails you, with the last date to oppose.
Your 4-month window to oppose
4
months to oppose
That’s all the time anyone gets to oppose a trademark after it’s published in the Trade Marks Journal.
The clock starts on the day of publication, whether or not you’ve seen the journal. BrandKavach checks every new journal, so you hear about a look-alike while most of these weeks are still ahead of you.
Each block is one week of the 4-month window.
How the watch works
Add your brand
Your brand name, up to 3 classes, and your application number if you’ve filed one.
We check every new journal
Each new Trade Marks Journal is compared with your brand for marks that look alike, sound alike or sit in a related class.
You get an alert with the deadline
For each similar mark: application number, class, journal date and the days left to oppose.
You decide what to do
Oppose it yourself, hand it to a trademark agent or advocate, or let it go. We don’t file anything or give legal advice.
