💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Trademark (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.05	Single EUIPO / TMview trademark record (application #, mark, applicant, Nice classes, status).
Watch check (watch-check)	$0.05	One monitoring check per watch-mode run — diffs current EUIPO filings against the saved baseline to surface new or changed marks. Watch mod…

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.

⏰ Run this as a brand watch (recommended)

Every IP registry actor is a monitoring subscription, not a one-shot lookup. Schedule a weekly sweep and catch new filings as they land:

{
  "query": "Adidas",
  "limit": 100
}

Weekly cron (0 8 * * 1) turns this into an always-on brand watch.

📊 What you get

Clean JSON, one record per trademark (full output has 8 fields):

• application_number — Application number
• mark_name — Mark name
• applicant_name — Applicant name
• nice_classes — Nice classes
• status — Status
• filing_date — Filing date
• office — Office
• mark_image_url — Mark image url

Pricing: $0.05 per trademark (Pay-Per-Event) — about 20 trademarks per $1.

🤖 Use with AI agents

Point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow or any MCP-aware client at it and run EU trademark clearance searches on demand.

Sample agent prompt:

Watch for new EU trademark filings matching my brand weekly and flag conflicts.

Agentic payments (x402): Supports agentic payment via x402 — agents can call this actor with USDC, no API key required.

Watch mode — monitor filings on a schedule

Set Mode = Watch (monitor changes) and run this Actor on a schedule (daily or weekly) to turn a one-off clearance search into ongoing monitoring. Watch mode:

• Remembers the marks it has already seen for each query (per optional Watch label), persisted across runs.
• On the first run, it establishes a baseline silently — no alerts, it just records what currently exists.
• On every later run, it returns only the deltas: newly-filed marks and marks whose status changed (e.g. Filed → Opposed, Filed → Registered). Quiet runs return an empty dataset.
• Every record carries a composite similarity_score (text + token + phonetic) and a clearance_risk band (Low / Medium / High), plus change_type, previous_status, first_seen and detected_at.

Wire it to alerts with Apify integrations: trigger an email, Slack message or webhook whenever a watch run produces items. Optional Similarity threshold % narrows alerts to the most confusingly-similar marks.

Watch inputs

• mode: search (default) or watch
• watchLabel: optional name to keep multiple watches independent
• similarityThresholdPct: 0–100, optional noise filter (0 = all new/changed matches)
• alertOnNewFilings: alert on marks not seen last run (default on)
• alertOnStatusChange: alert on status changes for known marks (default on)

Set up a recurring watch — Saved Task + Schedule + integration

1. Save a Task. Configure the Actor with Mode = Watch, your brand in Search Query, the offices you care about (e.g. EM for EUIPO), an optional Watch label, then click Save as a new task. Name it e.g. Watch: <brand> across EUIPO.
2. Schedule it. Open Schedules → Create schedule, add your saved task as the action, and pick a cadence (daily is typical for clearance monitoring). The first scheduled run establishes the baseline; every run after that returns only new or changed filings.
3. Wire an alert. On the task's Integrations tab, add an email, Slack, or webhook integration and set it to trigger on run success with a non-empty dataset — so you're notified only when there's actually a new or changed mark. Zero-delta runs stay silent.

A ready-to-clone example task, "Watch: Spotify across EUIPO", is published on this Actor's Saved tasks tab — open it to see the exact watch configuration and run it in one click.

Watch-mode pricing

Watch mode adds one non-primary event, Watch check ($0.05 per watch-mode run), on top of the existing per-result and Actor-start pricing. Search mode is unaffected. Quiet monitoring runs cost only the Actor-start + one Watch check; you pay the per-result price only when a new or changed mark is actually returned.

Watch your mark in the EU and the US

This Actor is the EU half of a pair. For US / USPTO coverage use its sibling, USPTO Trademark Search — US Brand Clearance API — the same watch-mode monitoring for US trademark filings. Run both on a schedule to watch your brand across the two largest trademark systems in one workflow.

Run it on a schedule

For EU brand protection, a weekly run on each mark you watch catches new filings as they land, and daily suits active clearance monitoring. Between runs, new marks are filed and known marks change status, for example from Filed to Opposed or Filed to Registered. Set mode to watch (or watchMode to true): the first run quietly records a baseline, and every later run returns only newly filed marks and status changes, so quiet weeks return an empty dataset. Use similarityThresholdPct to keep only the most confusingly similar marks, and watchLabel to keep several watches separate. Send each run's results onward with a webhook, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or the Apify API.

FAQ

Why use this instead of the official EUIPO eSearch or TMview website?

EUIPO's eSearch and TMview are free to search in a browser. This actor turns a mark-name search into clean JSON with application number, office, mark name and type, applicant and country, filing and registration dates, status, Nice classes and a link to the TMview record. It adds a similarity score and a Low, Medium or High clearance-risk band to each mark, and a watch mode that returns only new or changed filings on a schedule. It needs no OAuth, no login and no API key, and you pay per trademark.

What does a typical run cost?

You pay per result, not for run time: $0.05 for each row in the results, plus $0.005 per run start (charged per GB of run memory, minimum one). A run that returns 25 trademarks costs about $1.25. Optional extras are charged only when you turn them on: a watch-mode change check $0.05. Live prices are always shown in the Pricing tab.

How do I check if a brand name is already registered as an EU trademark?

Put the name in query, keep offices as ["EM"] for EUIPO, and optionally narrow with niceClasses and status. Each result shows the mark's status and classes, and its similarity_score and clearance_risk tell you how close it is to your query. Treat it as a screening search before formal clearance.

Can I search national trademark offices in Europe too?

Yes. offices takes ISO office codes, for example DE for Germany or FR for France, alongside EM for EUIPO. EU trademark coverage does not include the UK since Brexit, so use the UK Trademark Search actor for the GB register.

Can I filter EU trademarks by Nice class or status?

Yes. niceClasses takes class numbers from 1 to 45 (empty means all classes), and status takes Registered, Filed, Opposed, Refused or Expired (blank means all). maxResults caps the number of marks returned, with a default of 25.
