Similar trademark filing
Phonetic and spelling variants of the brand name are searched, and matches are listed with a similarity score and risk level.
Spot filings that resemble your brand early.
Authex trademark and patent monitoring is a monitoring solution that regularly searches trademark and patent office databases for filings similar to your brand and products, ranks them by similarity score and risk level and reports them with their source. Your trademark and patent attorney decides whether an opposition or another step is needed, and files it.
Overview
What is trademark and patent monitoring?
Trademark and patent monitoring tracks new applications and registrations at the offices that resemble your brand or products. Seeing a similar trademark application early gives you time to assess it with your trademark attorney.
Authex runs trademark searches in the records of 9 offices, including TÜRKPATENT, EUIPO, WIPO and USPTO, and patent searches in the data of 10 offices, including EPO and CNIPA. Phonetic and spelling variants of the brand name are searched; logos in the results are compared with yours, and each filing is ranked by similarity score and risk level.
This complements online brand monitoring of listings and accounts, and works alongside the bulletin watch that trademark attorneys run.

FAQ
Questions about Trademark & Patent Monitoring
Does Authex file oppositions?
Authex finds similar filings, ranks them by similarity score and risk level and reports them with their source. The opposition decision and filing belong to your trademark and patent attorney.
Which offices does it search?
For trademarks: TÜRKPATENT, EUIPO, WIPO, USPTO, UKIPO, DPMA, INPI (France), JPO and IP Australia. For patents: TÜRKPATENT, EPO, WIPO, USPTO, JPO, CNIPA, IP Australia, UKIPO, INPI (France) and DPMA.
Is the official bulletin watched daily?
Authex searches trademark and patent offices at the frequency you choose: daily, weekly, monthly or less often.
Can my trademark attorney use the results?
Yes. Each filing is listed with its office, application number, logo image, similarity score and source link, so your attorney starts from that information. The current status of a filing is confirmed in the office's own records.
How is this different from TÜRKPATENT bulletin watching?
Authex is online brand monitoring: it watches listings, accounts, ads and domains on the internet, and also lists filings similar to your brand at trademark offices. TÜRKPATENT publishes new trademark applications in its Bulletin, and an opposition must be filed within two months of publication (Industrial Property Law No. 6769, arts. 16 and 18). TÜRKPATENT bulletin watching follows new trademark applications and is a service trademark attorneys provide; the opposition decision belongs to your attorney.
