Trademark Conflict Watch

Monitor new trademark filings for conflicts with your brand. Built for IP counsel, brand teams, researchers and AI agents.

This actor surfaces public IP records as data for your attorney or IP team — it is not legal advice or a legal clearance opinion.

🔧 Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
watch_marks	array	["Acme"]	Brand/mark names to monitor for new or conflicting filings. Required unless owners or classes is provided.
owners	array	[]	Owner / applicant names to monitor. Filings whose owner matches are flagged owner_match / same_owner.
classes	array	[]	Nice classification numbers (1-45) to flag. Filings in these classes are flagged same_class.
jurisdictions	array	["US", "EU"]	Which trademark systems to watch. US = USPTO/TMView, EU = EUIPO/TMview.
similarity_mode	string (exact, normalized, fuzzy)	"normalized"	exact = identical normalized mark; normalized = punctuation/diacritic-insensitive; fuzzy = also flag near-matches (opt-in).
mode	string (full, delta)	"delta"	delta = only new/changed matches since the last run (first run creates a baseline). full = all current matches.
include_raw	boolean	false	Attach the raw source record to each output row.
maxResults	integer	25	Cap on results pulled per mark per jurisdiction.

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Watch run (watch-run)	$0.1	Charged once per monitoring run.
Watched item checked (watched-item)	$0.02	Per watched mark/owner/class monitored.
Conflict / delta match (conflict-match)	$0.1	Per new/changed conflict match in delta mode.

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 × $0.1 = $10.00 plus the start fee.
