Competitive intelligence from the register
A trademark filing is a launch, six months early.
Nobody files a trademark for a product they have abandoned. When a competitor registers a new mark, they have named something, budgeted for it and decided to ship it — and the filing is public long before the press release.
From ₹1,500/year
How it works
01
Name the companies you care about
Up to five on the standard plan, more on request. Use the registered entity name — that is what the filing carries, and it is often not the brand you know them by.
02
We watch what they file
Every new trademark application in their name, in any class, in every weekly issue of the IP India Trademark Journal. Including the classes they have never filed in before, which is the interesting signal.
03
You get told the week it happens
Mark, class, filing date and applicant, in your inbox. A new class is a new category. A cluster of filings is a launch. A defensive filing around your own category is a warning.
Pricing
From ₹1,500 a year.
Priced against a research subscription rather than against insurance, because that is what this is. One competitor's category expansion caught six months early is worth more than the whole subscription.
- 1 competitor — ₹1,500 / year
- 5 competitors — ₹5,000 / year
- Each competitor beyond 5 — ₹500 / year
- Weekly journal scan on every name
- Email the week a filing publishes
Questions
- Why does a trademark filing predict a launch?
- Filing costs money and starts a public clock, so it happens once a name is settled and a budget exists — typically months before anything ships. It is one of the very few forward-looking signals about a private competitor that is genuinely public.
- What if I do not know their registered entity name?
- Give us the brand name and we will find the entity. Indian groups often file under a holding company that shares nothing with the consumer brand, which is exactly why searching the register by brand name misses filings.
- Will they know I am watching?
- No. The Trademark Journal is a public record and reading it leaves no trace. Nothing is sent to the companies you track.
- How is this different from Trademark Watch?
- Trademark Watch is defensive — it watches for anyone filing close to a mark you own. This one is offensive: you name the rivals, and we report everything they file, whether or not it threatens you.
