Catch infringement the week it's filed, not the year you find out.
Thorgate scores every new US trademark application against your marks, flags the ones that look like infringement, and gives you the evidence and a cease-and-desist draft to act — before a copycat builds a business on your name.
The cheapest infringement to stop is the one you catch first.
An opposition during the 30-day publication window is far cheaper than a cancellation years later — and a demand letter lands harder before the other side has customers, packaging, and sunk cost. Detection that arrives late costs leverage you can't buy back.
Scored for likely confusion, not just spelled the same.
Every new filing
New USPTO applications are ingested and scored nightly against your marks on spelling, sound, shared words, and class proximity — the same factors that drive a likelihood-of-confusion analysis.
Ranked by severity
Each finding gets one composite score, banded into tiers. The filings most likely to be infringing rise to the top and alert you by morning; weak ones wait in the digest.
The opposition clock
When a conflicting mark is published for opposition, Thorgate shows the window and counts down the days you have to oppose it — so the cheapest moment to act doesn't slip past.
Finding it is half the job. Thorgate does the other half.
An alert you can't act on is just anxiety. Every finding carries what you need to respond.
- ▪Evidence you can forward. Export a one-page PDF of any conflict — the two marks side by side, the match breakdown, your notes, and a dated activity trail — to send to counsel or attach to a filing.
- ▪A cease-and-desist draft. Generate a demand letter assembled from the conflicting filing's own register data. It's a starting point for your attorney, not legal advice — but it turns a blank page into a review.
- ▪Triage that holds. Escalate the real threats, dismiss the noise once, and keep a per-conflict record of who you contacted and when.
The short answers.
It is the ongoing detection of new filings and uses that may infringe a mark you own — a focused form of trademark monitoring. Thorgate watches the US register, scores new applications for likely confusion with your marks, and surfaces the ones worth acting on.
Each new application is scored against your marks on spelling, sound, shared distinctive words, and class proximity — then banded by severity so the strongest matches rise to the top. You set the thresholds.
Export the evidence as a PDF, generate a cease-and-desist draft from the filing's data, and — if the mark is in its publication window — act before the opposition deadline. Thorgate surfaces all three; your attorney decides the strategy.
No. Thorgate detects and documents; it is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. What to do about a conflict is between you and your attorney — Thorgate just makes sure you see it in time and arrive with the evidence.
See the conflicts before they become lawsuits.
Add your marks and Thorgate sweeps the live register now, then scores every new filing against them nightly — with the evidence to act when one crosses the line.
