Trademark watch and free name check

You built the name. Keep it in sight.

Check a brand name against 50+ trademark registers and see the result on this page. Then let Antevo watch it every day and tell you when a similar filing appears, with the facts your counsel needs.

Intelligence, not legal advice. Screening is a starting point, not a clearance opinion.

Built after our own mark was taken — so no other founder gets blindsided the way we were.

How it works:check, watch, review

A search is a snapshot.
A brand keeps moving.

01 / CHECK

Check a name

Antevo screens the name across 50+ national and regional trademark registers and shows the near marks and where each is filed. It also checks the Swiss commercial register and the.ch and.com domains.

02 / WATCH

Watch it

Add a watch. Antevo checks the registers daily and flags a close filing the day it appears, with a similarity score and the filer’s name.

03 / REVIEW

Review with counsel

Each flag carries the applicant, the goods and services, and the opposition deadline where it can be confirmed. Your lawyer decides what to do.

Antevo Trademark watches 50+ national and regional trademark registers for filings close to your name, shows who filed, and gives the opposition deadline from the office’s own statute. The name check is free and needs no account; watching more names starts at €19 a month. Intelligence for your counsel, not legal advice.

What comeswith each alert

More than a similar spelling.

A similar name may belong to an unrelated business. So every alert comes with four things: the filing itself, the applicant and their filing history, the overlap in goods, services and territory, and a packet your counsel can act on before the deadline.

Trademark monitoring:questions and answers

The honest answers.

Which trademark registers does Antevo check?

The EU, the US, the UK and Switzerland — plus Canada, Singapore, Israel, Chile, Spain, Austria, France and many others: coverage reaching 50+ national and regional trademark offices. Every result says where the near marks it found are filed. How far back each register goes differs. For many offices, including the US, the UK, Germany and France, our copy starts with filings from 2025 or 2026, so an older mark can be missing. EU marks are also searched live at EUIPO.

Does the name check cover company names and domains?

Yes. Beside the trademark registers, the check looks the name up in the Swiss commercial register (and, on request, the UK’s Companies House and Singapore’s ACRA) and asks the domain registries whether its.ch and.com addresses are registered. A register that does not answer is shown as not checked, never as free, and a domain with no record is not reserved for anyone.

If the search comes back clear, is the name safe to use?

No. Screening is limited to the available data and registers returned. Similarity, goods, services, territory and rights outside those results may all require legal assessment.

Does it catch similar names, or only identical ones?

Similar. The check shows near marks, not only exact matches, and a watch flags close filings with a similarity score. Similarity alone does not make a legal conflict: goods, services and territory decide that, and your counsel judges it.

Is trademark monitoring worth it for a small business with one mark?

Start free. The free plan includes the name check and one watched name, so a business with a single mark pays nothing to be told when a close filing appears. Opposition windows are short, from 30 days in the US to three months in the EU and Switzerland, and they do not wait for you to notice.

What does trademark monitoring do, day to day?

We check the register every day for new filings similar to yours and flag anything close — with a similarity score and who filed it — the day it lands.

How quickly will I hear about a new filing?

Same day. A new filing near your name is flagged as soon as it appears in the register feed — while the opposition window is still wide open.

Does Antevo track opposition and renewal deadlines?

Oppositions, yes, and we tell you which kind of answer you’re getting. Where we hold the office’s publication date and the office’s window is pinned to its statute — the EU is the clearest case — you get a date and a countdown. Where a filing is still in examination we say so and watch for it to publish; where a window has already closed we tell you the route is now cancellation, not opposition. We would rather say “we can’t date this one, treat it as live” than invent a deadline. Renewals depend on the office publishing an expiry date, and many — including the EU, UK and US registers — don’t publish one in the data we mirror; where they do, we count down to it. Your counsel confirms every date before you act on it.

Where does the information about an applicant come from?

Mostly from the registers — but not the way you’d guess. The strongest read on a holder comes from their own filing record across every office we cover: how much of their book they let lapse, whether their marks cluster where they trade or spray across unrelated classes, whether filings arrive one at a time or fifty in a morning. That works for every holder, including the shell companies and private individuals most squatters file under. On top of it, corporate identity resolves through the LSEG PermID graph — the identifier spine the financial industry runs on — when the holder is a company that graph knows. Facts with provenance, ready for your counsel.

Is this legal advice, and do I still need a trademark lawyer?

It is not legal advice, and yes, you do. Antevo is intelligence — it tells you what’s happening and who’s behind it, and prepares a counsel-ready packet: the facts, the balance of the case, the deadline. Your trademark lawyer acts on it and files any opposition. We watch and arm; they act. That line matters, and we keep it.

Do I need an account?

Not for the free name check. Watching a name and the deeper intelligence need a free account.
