Who’s filing close to your mark?
One scan of your mark against the USPTO filings we have on file. A watch plan continues through the daily application files MarkSentry records, with the measured coverage window and any gaps shown.
What a near-miss looks like
One vowel apart, phonetically near-identical: the kind of filing the gate surfaces and the triage explains. The plates below are the site's illustrative pair, not a real filing.
SUNBURST / SONBURST: illustrative pair, not a real filing.
EVERY SIGNAL, EXPLAINED
From new filing to a clear decision.
New USPTO applications enter the watch every day.
Appearance, sound, and class context explain why it surfaced.
Source facts and your decision remain together in the dashboard.
Who it's for
- A founder who filed (or is about to file) a mark and wants to know the day someone files near it.
- A small brand that wants application-stage context before a mark may later publish for opposition.
- A trademark practitioner watching a handful of client marks who wants the alert, the rationale, and the record, not a portal.
SOURCE & CADENCE
USPTO applications · daily
Application-stage monitoring creates early context. It does not mean an opposition period has started.
COVERAGE & PROOFCoverage, matching method, and operating record
USPTO trademark applications from the daily files MarkSentry records, judged against your mark on appearance, sound, and meaning: measured file-day coverage and application-stage context before any later publication-for-opposition period begins.
Everything included
- Daily USPTO application-file reads, with measured coverage and gaps shown
- Similarity gate: normalized text, phonetic match, token overlap
- AI triage on appearance, sound, meaning (with a one-sentence rationale per alert)
- Nice-class overlap highlighted
- Alert email on the new application, with the 30-day publication-for-opposition rule and a DRAFT next-step paragraph (not legal advice)
- Applicant filing-pattern line when the record names the applicant and they have filed near your mark before
- Dashboard evidence: RECORD / TRIAGE / YOUR CALL
- Stop or resume watching any time
How it went live
Before this page said "live", the deployed system had to prove it: a 90-day backfill put 185,514 USPTO filings on file (88 days of daily files, 2026-05-16 through 2026-08-11), and a real scan on the live site returned filings whose serials were hand-checked against the USPTO's own TSDR record: mark text and filing date matched on both.
The complete customer path—from plan enrollment and mark registration to a source-linked alert—was verified end to end. The dated launch and coverage record is published in the customer changelog.
FAQ
How fast will I hear about a new filing?
The watch reads the USPTO's daily application file each morning; a filing that clears the gate and triage is emailed the same run. The report and dashboard show the measured coverage window (the exact days on file), never a promised lag.
Does an alert mean I should oppose?
No. An alert means the application is close enough that a person should look. Whether to oppose later is a decision for you and a trademark attorney; the alert gives you the record, the rationale, and the publication-for-opposition context for that conversation.
What about logos and design marks?
Today the watch compares wordmarks (text). Design patents have their own live watch; logo/image comparison on the web is in validation.
Can I watch more than one mark?
Yes: a slot per mark, shared across the watch types enabled for the plan. Starter holds three.
MarkSentry provides monitoring and triage, not legal advice. State trademark registries and common-law use are not watched today.
