Adding & importing marks

A "mark" is a name you want to watch. Add one and Thorgate screens it against the full register immediately, then against every new filing each night.

Add a single mark

From Marks → Add a mark, enter the wording and pick the Nice classes it covers. That's all that's required.

The add-a-mark form with a mark name and class checkboxes — Enter the literal wording and the classes your mark covers.

Mark — the literal word or phrase. Design/logo marks aren't screened in this version.
Nice classes — the goods/services classes your mark covers. Conflicts in the same or related classes score higher. Not sure which? Use the class suggester.
Alert threshold (advanced) — the score below which findings are hidden. The default of 65 suits most marks.
Filing details (advanced) — if the mark is already filed, add the serial number and stage so Thorgate can docket its deadlines.

Import many at once

Have a portfolio? Marks → Import CSV takes a spreadsheet. Download the template, fill a row per mark, and upload.

The CSV import screen with a results summary of imported, skipped, and error rows — Every valid row imports and starts screening; invalid or over-limit rows are reported by row number.

The columns are mark_text, classes (e.g. 9|42), and optional threshold, filed, serial_number, and stage. Up to 500 rows per file. Invalid rows are reported individually — the rest still import.

After you add

New marks show a "screening…" state in your marks list for up to a minute while the first sweep runs, then fill in with findings.

The watched-marks list showing marks with conflict counts and a screening state — Your watched marks, each with its live conflict count.

Plan limits: each plan watches a set number of marks. If an import exceeds your remaining slots, the extra rows are skipped and reported — no partial charges, nothing silently dropped.
