Watch & Monitoring

Know the moment a confusing mark appears. Act while it still costs little.

Your registration only protects you if you know when someone steps on it. Watch checks new CIPO filings and, on the top tier, Amazon and Shopify, against your marks every month, with an agent's judgment on what actually matters.

Alerts alone are not the product

Software watches send you every near-match and leave you to guess. Ours arrive with a short note from our team: ignore, watch, or act, and what acting would involve. That is the difference between a monthly email and a monthly decision made for you.

  • Month to month, cancel any time
  • Set up within two business days
  • Discounted for the first 90 days with any filing or Rescue

How it works

Set it up once. We handle the rest.

Watch is designed to take zero effort from you until something is actually worth your attention.

  1. 1

    Tell us your marks

    Registered or pending, one brand or a handful. We set up monitoring within two business days.

  2. 2

    We monitor

    New CIPO filings are checked against your marks on a monthly cycle. Marketplace tier adds Amazon.ca and Shopify lookalike scans.

  3. 3

    You get a digest

    Hits arrive by email. On Pro and above, each one carries a short agent note: ignore, watch or act, and why.

  4. 4

    Act with time to spare

    When something matters, we flag the opposition window and lay out options. You decide; we execute.

FAQ

Monitoring questions

Why do I need monitoring if my mark is registered?
CIPO does not tell you when someone files something similar. Registration gives you the right to object, but only if you know about it. The opposition window after a mark is advertised is short, and once it closes your options get slower and more expensive.
What counts as a hit?
New applications that are identical or confusingly similar to your mark in related goods and services. On Basic you receive the raw alerts. On Pro and above, our team reviews each hit and tells you whether it is noise, worth watching, or worth acting on.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Watch is month to month with no minimum term. Cancel by email at any time and monitoring stops at the end of the paid month.
What does the Marketplace tier actually scan?
Brand names and storefronts on Amazon.ca and Shopify-hosted stores that resemble yours, plus sellers listing under your brand who are not authorized. Alerts are formatted so you can act on them in Brand Registry.
I am a law firm or agent with Canadian marks on my books. Is there a portfolio option?
Yes. Agency Watch covers portfolios for firms and agents who want Canadian triage without adding headcount. It is quote-based depending on portfolio size.

The opposition window does not wait for you to notice.

Send us the marks you want watched. We will confirm the plan and have monitoring live within two business days.
