Trademark Filing Watch: New USPTO Application Alerts

Watch USPTO and EUIPO for new trademark applications that contain or resemble your marks, by Nice class. One row per filing with the owner, classes and a record link. Monitoring bills only new matches, and can alert Slack, Discord or Telegram. No API key and no proxy. EUIPO is searched through TMview (adFrom / adTo). If USPTO later requires a token, the fallback is the official bulk daily XML on bulkdata.uspto.gov; that path is not built yet.

How to use

1. In the Apify Console. Open the actor page and click Start — the terms field is already pre-filled with a working example. Results land in the run's dataset as soon as each item is found.
2. Via the API. Call it directly with a POST request — no Console needed once you have an API token:

   curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~trademark-filing-watch/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
     -X POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"terms":["cloud"]}'
   

3. On a schedule. Save this actor as an Apify Task with the input you want, then add a Schedule (hourly, daily, weekly) so it runs on its own — no server of your own required.

Input

{
  "terms": [
    "cloud"
  ]
}

One mark per line. Each line is searched on its own. By default a filing matches when the word mark contains the term. Accepted formats: cloud, ClassCloud, your brand.

Example runs

For brand owners and IP attorneys. Change the field named in each note.

1. Watch my brand (who: brand protection). Change terms.

{ "terms": ["yourbrand"], "matchMode": "similar", "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true }

2. New software trademarks in classes 9 and 42 (who: agency lead-gen). Change classes.

{ "terms": ["ai"], "classes": [9, 42], "sinceDays": 7 }

3. New filings by keyword (who: a category watch). Change terms.

{ "terms": ["coffee"], "classes": [30, 43], "sinceDays": 14 }

Output

One row per item, for example:

query	found	status	filingCount	filings	searchSummary	monitorStatus	truncated	notifyErrors	office	serialNumber	mark	matchType	similarityScore	filedDate	liveStatus	statusCode	ownerNames	niceClasses	goodsAndServices	recordUrl	isNew	firstSeenAt	scrapedAt
cloud	true	OK		<all filings (full list)>																	<is this filing new?>		1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z

A miss comes back as a row with "found": false and is never charged.

Pricing

• New trademark filing matched: $10 per 1,000 filings

Plus a $0.002 start fee per run. Each event above is billed independently, only when it actually returns data — misses (found:false) are never charged.

Use it from Clay, n8n, Make, or an AI agent

This actor runs synchronously over plain HTTP — call it directly from a script, a workflow tool, or an AI agent, no Apify Console needed once you have an API token.

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~trademark-filing-watch/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"terms":["cloud"]}'

n8n. Add an HTTP Request node: Method POST, URL https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~trademark-filing-watch/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>, Body Content Type JSON, JSON Body {"terms":["cloud"]} (swap in an expression from an earlier node for a real value).

Clay. Add an "HTTP API" column: Method POST, URL https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~trademark-filing-watch/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>, Body {"terms":["{{term}}"]}, mapping the row's term into the terms array.

MCP. In Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client with the Apify MCP server, ask for "trademark watch for new USPTO filings" — the agent will find and run this actor.
