When someone registers your trademark, you have three months.

Opposition against a newly registered mark may only be filed within three months of publication (Art. 31 TmPA). After that, costly civil litigation is the only route. Trademark Watch compares every new Swiss registration against your marks — wording, sound and Nice classes — and alerts you while the window is open.

How it works

  1. 1

    Enter your mark

    Mark name and Nice classes are enough — the registration number is optional. You can even watch a mark you have not registered yet.

  2. 2

    We compare daily

    Every newly filed or registered Swiss trademark is checked against yours: text similarity, phonetic match and overlapping Nice classes — identical names in unrelated industries do not trigger.

  3. 3

    You get the alert, with the deadline

    Each finding arrives by email — with the application number, publication date and the computed end of the opposition window. Time enough to involve a trademark attorney.

Frequently asked

Why are Nice classes required?
Trademark protection applies per class of goods/services. Two identical names in unrelated industries are usually no conflict — so we only compare where classes overlap. Your classes are in your register extract on swissreg.ch.
Can I watch a mark I have not registered yet?
Yes. Enter the name and the classes you intend to register in — you will know if someone beats you to it.
Does the watch cover figurative marks?
No — an image cannot be compared as text. The watch checks word marks; combined marks are covered via their verbal element where the register carries one.
What happens after an alert?
The opposition itself is an official IPI proceeding (fee CHF 800) — your trademark attorney files it. Our alert buys you the time; it is not legal advice.
