As a trademark holder, safeguarding your brand from bad actors is of utmost importance for several reasons:
Trademark monitoring service ensures that your brand's reputation remains untarnished by preventing others from using your trademarks without permission
Unauthorized sellers, gray market goods, and pricing violations can lead to substantial revenue losses.
Enforcing trademark infringements manually can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Automating many aspects of the process with trademark watch software can make it more efficient and cost-effective.
Bad actors can infringe your trademark using a wide range of deceptive techniques:
Scammers register trademarks that sound or look similar to your brand's registered trademarks. These imitation trademarks can be used on products, packaging, or in advertising materials to deceive consumers into buying their products, thinking they're genuine
Counterfeit goods can be sold through various channels, including online marketplaces, unauthorized retail stores, and even on social media platforms, misleading unsuspecting customers and causing substantial financial harm to your brand
Imitators often create fake websites or social media profiles that closely mimic your brand's online presence. These deceptive platforms are used to steal sensitive customer information, spread malware, or redirect potential customers away from your legitimate channels.

Why should I use trademark monitoring services?
Trademark monitoring service is a critical proactive measure that not only safeguards your brandâs image, but also may save your brand hundreds of thousands of dollars in infringement lawsuits.
Why is trademark monitoring software important?
No matter how big or small your company is, your trademark could be infringed upon and used on counterfeit products if you don’t monitor it. Every day, it’s becoming easier for these products to be sold as more shoppers buy online than ever before. This represents a growing threat your brand needs to be prepared to face.
How do I monitor my trademark?
A trademark monitoring software can cover every base your brand needs to protect against infringements. Red Pointsâ trademark watch software monitors the web 24/7 so that infringements can be detected and removed as soon as they emerge. As a result, you donât have to worry about initiating the process and wading through complicated paperwork while the counterfeit continues to sell.
What is a trademark watch service?
Trademark watch services monitor the internet for trademark infringement and alert brands when there is a possible threat. You can get a trademark watch service provided by an individual or company, such as a lawyer or software that automatically searches the web for your brand.
As trademark monitoring and notification software can track numerous sites around the world at all times, it is more efficient and effective (both in terms of time and money) than hiring employees to scan for these infringements.
How do you protect yourself from trademark infringement?
Your brand wonât be automatically protected just because you register your trademark. You will still have to keep a close eye online in order to monitor any possible misuse of your trademark. You can do this manually or with the help of trademark infringement monitoring services, like Red Points.
A good trademark monitoring service utilizes technology to detect potential trademark infringements on a 24/7 basis. With trademark protection services like Red Points, the removal process can be started as soon as a trademark infringement has been detected. This addresses the infringement quickly and gets to the root of the problem, so you wonât be left playing trademark infringement whack-a-mole with counterfeiters that come back faster than you can address them on your own.

Why do you need a Trademark watch service?
Filing a trademark for your intellectual property does not automatically ensure that it will be protected. Scammers can still easily copy your trademark and use it to defraud your customers and steal your revenue.
No matter what size business you are running, you canât afford to ignore trademark infringements. With the growing number of scammers on social media and ecommerce platforms, every brand is at risk of becoming the target of infringements.Â
These infringements pose a great threat to your business revenue, the safety of your customers, and the reputation of your brand.Â
Ignoring trademark infringements allows scammers to continue easily stealing your revenue and ruining your reputation as your customers are taken advantage of. Investing in trademark infringement monitoring services will help you take back your revenue and protect your customers.
What are the risks associated with company name trademark infringement?
When your business name is no longer unique enough for consumers to associate it with your business, its brand identity can be diluted as it loses its distinguishability and edge among others in the market.
If bad actors use your brand name to sell counterfeits of your products or to trick customers into giving personal information, making them victims of phishing, this will have a direct impact on your brand’s reputation.
Business name trademark infringement may affect your revenue in a number of ways: when a competitor uses your company name and corresponding reputation, sales are diverted from you and profit is lost. Litigation can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in severe cases. So, it is essential to use trademark protection solutions to save both the revenue and your brandâs reputation.Â
If bad actors filed bad faith trademarks similar to yours in the same category, potentially jeopardizing its registration, you may be forced to change the name of the business, rebranding completely, destroying stock, paying damages, and legal fees. This was the case of Target when they tried to file their brand âAll goâ (now âAll in motionâ) and found out that there was an existing fraudulent trademark about to be registered in the same category, costing them $17 Million in revenue.
How much will it cost if I file a trademark infringement case against someone who uses my business name?
Trademark infringement lawsuits can cost approximately $200,000 to $800,000 on average, depending on the complexity of the case. Lawyerâs fees comprise a bulk of this amount, especially since most lawyers charge per hour. Apart from attorneyâs fees, this amount also includes filing fees and other litigation expenses.
