An EUIPO trademark watch service monitors new applications filed at the European Union Intellectual Property Office and notifies you when a filing could conflict with your registered mark. This is distinct from a general trademark search: a watch service runs continuously, checking new publications every day, rather than returning a one-time snapshot.
EUIPO publishes new trademark applications in the EU Trade Marks Bulletin on a rolling basis throughout the working week. Each publication starts the 90-day opposition clock for that filing. A trademark watch service aligned to this publication schedule catches filings as early as possible, giving you the maximum time to assess and respond.
A complete EUIPO trademark watch covers three types of similarity:
Sentin applies all three. Text and phonetic analysis runs on every filing in your Nice classes. Logo comparison runs for registered figurative marks where filing images are available.
Sentin connects to the EUIPO API every morning and downloads new filings across your registered Nice classes. Each filing is scored for similarity. Filings above the conflict threshold trigger an alert. Everything else is filtered silently. You receive only the filings that need your attention.
Sentin runs an EUIPO trademark watch every morning and emails you when something worth opposing appears.
