A trademark monitoring service regularly scans trademark databases, business registers, domain registrations, social media, and online marketplaces for new applications or uses that are similar to your registered mark. When a potential conflict is identified, the service alerts you so you can assess it and act within the relevant window.

For trademark applications specifically, this means you receive notification of a potentially conflicting application during the publication period, while there is still time to file an opposition. Without monitoring, you may not learn about the application until after the window has closed.
