Every accepted EU trade mark application is published in the EU Trade Marks Bulletin. From that day, anyone with an earlier similar mark has three months to oppose it. Sentin reads the week's publications and compares every word mark against every other word mark in the same class with the same scorer it uses for its customers. Below: the closest pairs filed by different applicants. "Close" is a similarity score, not a legal opinion.

EUIPO published 1,396 trade mark applications this week in the classes most start-ups file in (class 9: 751, class 35: 695, class 41: 427, class 42: 594).
4 pairs filed by different applicants that look close to me:
• FlowsWave ↔ Flowztone (class 9, 81% similar)
• FALQON ↔ FALCONS (class 9, 80% similar)
• FERVIDEA ↔ FARVIDDEN (class 35, 80% similar)
• WAVECURVE ↔ WAVECOUNTER (class 9, 80% similar)
Each has a 3-month opposition window running from its publication date. Odds are neither applicant knows about the other.
