Monitoring

Our trademark attorneys provide services to conduct regular monitoring of trademarks in Russia and other countries in order to discover attempts of registration of trademarks or designations similar to them by other persons. Monitoring of trademarks allows us to identify new applications for trademark registration submitted by others and published in the official registers of the Patent Offices.

In the event of finding through the monitoring of publication of new trademarks of third parties, those trademarks may be challenged, and the grounds for contesting may be, for example, an earlier right to the trademark or an earlier use of the trademark.
