6. WHY WE CONDUCT TRADEMARK WATCH In order to police your trade mark rights, it is necessary to keep an eye on the market to see whether others are making use of your trade marks without authorization. One simple and inexpensive way to do this is to institute a watch service.
9. BENEFITs OF TRADE MARK WATCH A trade mark watch can be implemented to watch for third party uses of a trade mark and helps a person to protect their mark once it is in use and/or registered. Trade marks can be watched in the form of a trade mark application watch or a trade mark publication watch. This is a cost effective way to find out at an early stage if others are planning to use a trade mark the same as or similar to yours It is always easiest to deal with such a situation before the later party starts to build up rights.
