Feature highlight: Trademark Monitoring

Hi! This is Howard Katzenberg, GleanMark's founder. In this video, we'll walk you through GleanMark's trademark monitoring. It checks USPTO records daily and brings the changes to you, in the app and by email.

There are four types. Owner tracking follows a company's filings. Portfolio tracking follows specific marks. Watches look for potentially conflicting filings. Deadline alerts show what's coming due.

Let's start with owner tracking. Follow a client, or a competitor you want to keep an eye on. Here's A&E Television Networks.

Choose the events that matter: new applications, assignments, portfolio events, Board activity, and citations.

When A&E filed BIO. on October 20, the alert arrived the next day. That's how you'd see a competitor's new filings, too.

Portfolio tracking follows specific marks, and they don't have to be yours. Add a competitor's application, like A&E's ALIEN CON, and you'll know when it moves. Its notice of allowance issued on October 13, and the alert arrived the next morning.

For your clients' own marks, GleanMark adds citation alerts. When an examiner cites one of them against someone else's application, you'll see it. Here, the examiner refused Aristocrat's BUFFALO GOLD RUSH, citing Light & Wonder's GOLD RUSH. That's a competitor filing close to your client's mark.

GleanMark also follows suspended applications. Light & Wonder's WINGS OF TIANLU is suspended, waiting on an earlier application from IGT. When a mark like that is abandoned or published, you get an alert. Here, it was abandoned, so you can ask the examiner to resume instead of waiting for the USPTO's next check.

Watches look for new filings that could conflict with your clients' marks. Our Watch Alerts video shows how to set one up.

Deadline reminders summarize what's overdue and coming due in a daily or weekly email. Our Deadline Management video covers them.

Owner and portfolio alerts land in your alerts inbox. Choose which types also come by email, and how often. Firm admins can set team defaults.

Follow your clients, their competitors, and the marks that matter to them. Start a free trial or book a short walkthrough at gleanmark.com.
