Is a confusingly-similar trademark about to register?
Type your brand name. This page checks it against every US trademark published for opposition or registered in the last ~4 months using edit-distance + phonetic + rare-shared-word matching — the same open-source matcher we benchmark publicly on 45 real USPTO §2(d) case pairs (36/36 must-flag pairs caught, 0 false positives on 20 negative controls; the full per-pair table is regenerated on every refresh). Free, no login, runs entirely in your browser.
Nothing you type leaves your browser — the index is downloaded to you. Source: USPTO Trademark Official Gazette, a new issue every Tuesday.
This page only sees the Gazette through the latest issue. TM Watch runs this exact check for your mark against every new Gazette issue, every Tuesday, for a year and alerts you the same day a similar mark is published — while the 30-day opposition window is still open.
$49 for one mark, 12 months — one-time payment, no auto-renewal
Attorney watch services start around $200/yr; the cheapest software watch we could find is $55/yr.

Real alert generated for the watched mark STELLANITE against the 2026-09-01 Gazette issue (trimmed). Every row links to the mark's live USPTO status page.
| Serial | Mark | Gazette date | Event | Classes | Why flagged |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50001495 | STELLANITE | 2026-09-01 | Published for opposition | 11 | identical, whole-mark-token, phonetic-equal (STLNT) |
| 50001643 | STEELANITE | 2026-09-01 | Published for opposition | 11 | edit (sim 0.90), phonetic-equal (STLNT) |
| 98152938 | STELLA ARTE | 2026-07-21 | Registered | 3 | edit (sim 0.80), phonetic-near (STLNT~STLRT) |
A mark published for opposition can be opposed — or an extension of time to oppose requested — for 30 days from its Gazette date. Miss the window and your only remaining route is a cancellation proceeding after it registers, which is slower and costlier. A weekly check on the day the issue lands is the whole point of a watch.
Free data and browsing — no purchase
Browse newly published and registered marks by international class (45 pages, rebuilt after every Tuesday issue), or take the underlying records as free weekly CSVs — one immutable file per Gazette issue, public domain, no login, also mirrored on Hugging Face. The paid product is the ongoing watch, never access to the data.
How it works, refunds, contact
Buying. Pay $49 on Gumroad and enter the exact text of your mark. No account of any kind is needed: within one refresh cycle (≤24h) you get a private alert page with its own RSS feed — open alerts/, type your mark and the email you paid with, and your browser computes the unlisted address locally (the page shows only your mark and public USPTO records — never your name or email — because this site is served from a public repository). Every Tuesday issue is matched against your mark and any hits appear on that page (subscribe to its feed in any reader to be notified; quiet weeks are logged as "checked"). The checkout also has an optional GitHub username field: leave it blank unless you want the private GitHub repository as a second copy of the alerts (then you are invited within 24h and can click "Watch" for GitHub emails). Plain email alerts are on the roadmap; existing buyers get them at no charge.
What is watched. Every word mark in the two Gazette sections that matter: applications published for opposition (~10,000/week) and registrations issued. Design-only marks (logos without words) are out of scope. Matching = edit distance + phonetic + variant forms + a rare-shared-word rule (a distinctive word both marks share that is uncommon across the ~200k-mark corpus, e.g. VEUVE, KODIAK — common words like PACIFIC or DENTAL never trigger it); the matcher and its 45-pair §2(d) benchmark are open source, so you can verify exactly what it will and will not catch.
Term. 12 months from purchase, one mark, no auto-renewal: your card is charged once, and when the year ends the watch simply stops — nothing is billed again. Two weeks before expiry you get a reminder alert with a link to buy another year if you want it. Several marks: buy once per mark (multi-mark bundles coming; ask).
Refunds. Full refund within 14 days of purchase, no questions — request it through Gumroad.
Contact. Open an issue on the repo (no account needed to read; a free GitHub account to post) or reply to your Gumroad receipt — both reach the operator directly.
