Sentin monitors the EUIPO database every morning. The moment a conflicting filing appears, you get an alert — with your 90-day opposition window clearly marked. Set it once. We handle the rest.
You have exactly 3 months from publication to oppose a conflicting filing. EUIPO will not notify you. That’s exactly what Sentin is here for.
Three months from the EUIPO publication date — not the filing date. Miss it and the window closes permanently. No exceptions. No extensions. The clock starts without a warning from anyone.
The EU trademark register grows every single week. Any one of those applications could conflict with your mark. Checking manually is a full-time job — and even then you would likely miss things.
A junior associate, once a week, running searches by hand. They miss things. They are slow. You pay for both. Sentin does it every morning for €15 a month. That is 98% cheaper, and faster.
A sole trader with one mark gets the same protection as a multinational.
Not because they can afford a law firm — because they set up Sentin.
The only difference is whether you set it up.
Every morning Sentin queries the EUIPO database — not weekly, not randomly. Every morning. Before you’ve had your first coffee, the scan is done.
When a conflicting filing appears, you hear about it the same day. Not in a weekly digest. Not in a monthly report. The same day — with your deadline already calculated.
Your opposition deadline is pre-calculated on every alert. You don’t look it up. You don’t count backwards. It’s already there when you open the email.
You built your brand. You filed your trademark. The last thing you should have to do is check a database every week to make sure no one is copying you.
That is what Sentin is for.
Enter your brand name and EUIPO registration number. Sentin begins watching immediately. No configuration, no maintenance, no manual searches — ever. Takes two minutes.
Every morning Sentin searches the EUIPO database for new filings. Each result is scored for phonetic and visual similarity by AI — not just exact matches. It catches the near-misses too.
You receive an email: the applicant, their country, similarity scores, and exactly how many days remain to oppose. The action is yours. The watching is Sentin’s.
IP firms charge €300/year to monitor one brand manually — a search run once a week by a junior associate. Other tools alert you but stop there. Sentin scans daily, shows you exactly how many days you have left, and drafts your opposition for you. The difference is not price. It is whether you can act in time.
Same or adjacent class, phonetic similarity above 75%. This filing directly threatens your mark. The opposition deadline is on every alert. Do not wait.
Different class or moderate similarity between 60–74%. Low urgency today, but relevant if you expand into new markets or product lines.
Unrelated industry or similarity below 60%. Logged for your records so you always have the complete picture — not just the alerts that need action.
We compare the mark name, phonetic sound, and visual appearance against yours. If there’s meaningful overlap — similar enough that a consumer could confuse them — you get an alert. You decide whether to act.
The exact filing: the applicant’s name, the mark, the goods and classes it covers, the publication date, and your opposition deadline. Everything your lawyer would ask for first is already in the email.
No. Sentin tells you when something is worth your attention. What you do next — monitor, oppose, ignore — is your call. Most users forward the alert to their IP lawyer and let them advise from there.
Not yet — Sentin monitors marks you already hold or have applied for. Once your application is published on EUIPO, you can add it. Many users set up Sentin the same week they file.
Yes. One trademark, EUIPO daily scans, email alerts — no credit card required. No expiry. Downgrade or cancel anytime.
IP law firms charge €1,500/year for a slower, manual version of this. Sentin Solo: €180/year. · Cancel anytime. No contracts.
Your opposition window starts the moment a conflicting mark is published. EUIPO will not tell you. Sentin will — every morning, automatically, with the countdown already calculated.
