Monitoring Tens of Millions of Trademarks

BrandCat automatically scans official trademark databases across major national and regional IP offices, including:

  • US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
  • China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA)
  • European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)
  • World Intellectual Property Organization - Madrid System (Daily Changes)
  • UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO)
  • Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO)
  • Japan Patent Office (JPO)
  • Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (SwissReg)
  • Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO)
  • IP Australia
  • Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ)

BrandCat checks these sources every day to find filings that may look or sound similar to your brand.

Instead of manually searching each registry, you'll receive automated alerts whenever new marks share words, phonetic variants, or visually similar elements with your brand name or product lines.

Monitor Multiple Brands Effortlessly

Add your company name, product lines, or app names as keywords. BrandCat continuously monitors them across all supported databases. The dashboard shows how many new trademarks were found for each keyword, making it easy to prioritize where action might be needed.

Whether you manage one brand or fifty, everything updates automatically, no need to revisit multiple government portals and check each of your keywords all the time.

Trademark match results across multiple databases

Instant Access to Trademark Details

Each match opens directly to its detailed record, whether from the U.S., Europe, or Canada, showing key information such as serial number, status, filing and registration dates, classes, owner details, and a complete event timeline.

Results appear in a unified list, allowing you to review and compare trademarks from multiple registries without switching between separate national databases.

BrandCat doesn't just look for exact word matches, it also finds trademarks that sound similar or share part of your monitored keyword. If the results ever look too broad, you can easily narrow them down using filters by database, owner, class, or filing date.

Trademark script normalization example

Cross-Language Trademark Search

Trademark records are often filed using different scripts or Unicode variants, especially in Asian jurisdictions such as China, Japan, and South Korea. These differences can make it difficult to locate relevant filings using simple keyword searches.

BrandCat automatically normalizes scripts and Unicode variants so that searches written in Latin characters can still match records filed in other writing systems.

For example, a search for BrandCat:

Will also match these results:

ＢＲＡＮＤＣＡＴ
ブランドキャット
品牌猫
브랜드캣

This includes normalization of fullwidth Latin characters, meaning trademarks written like ＢＲＡＮＤＣＡＴ will match the same way as BrandCat.

The feature currently applies to trademark records retrieved from CNIPA, JPO, and KIPO.

Supported Trademark Offices and Regions

BrandCat continuously monitors official trademark registries across the world’s most active jurisdictions. Each office below is integrated directly with its authoritative data source and updated as new applications are published.

USPTO trademark details view

United States United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)

BrandCat’s monitoring is built on the official USPTO Trademark Status & Document Retrieval data, covering more than 3.2 million active U.S. trademarks. Each new filing is parsed, normalized, and cross-matched daily against your monitored keywords.

Whether you protect a national or global brand, USPTO remains the world’s single largest source of trademark registrations, and BrandCat keeps you instantly informed of new applications that may overlap with yours.
New USPTO applications are added and published daily.

CNIPA trademark details view

China China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA)

China is the world’s most active trademark jurisdiction by a large margin. WIPO reports that nearly half of all trademark filings worldwide take place at CNIPA, with roughly 7 million application classes filed in 2024.

This makes CNIPA a key source of early warning signals for brand protection, especially for global brands that may be copied, localized, or extended into new Nice classes. BrandCat monitors new CN filings and keeps them in the same unified view as USPTO and EUIPO.

CN trademark data is monitored continuously and displayed in the same normalized detail view (status, dates, owner, representative, classes).

EUIPO trademark details view

European Union European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)

BrandCat integrates directly with the European Union Intellectual Property Office. You'll be alerted as soon as new EU trademarks are filed that resemble your monitored keywords, even before they are officially registered.

Over 2 million EU trademarks are currently in force, with new applications published daily.

WIPO Madrid trademark record example

World Intellectual Property Organization WIPO Madrid System (Daily Changes)

BrandCat now monitors trademark activity published through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Madrid System. The Madrid System allows trademark owners to seek protection across multiple jurisdictions through a single international registration.

Instead of monitoring the full historic database, BrandCat tracks WIPO Madrid daily changes, allowing you to detect newly published international registrations and important updates as soon as they appear.

This provides early visibility into international trademark filings that designate multiple countries at once, often before conflicts appear in individual national registries.

Each record in BrandCat displays key details from the international registration, including the registration number, current status, holder information, Nice classes, office of origin, priority claims, designated jurisdictions, and a timeline of status events such as protection grants, refusals, and oppositions.

WIPO Madrid data is monitored through the official daily changes feed and matched continuously against your protected keywords.

UKIPO trademark details view

United Kingdom UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO)

BrandCat integrates directly with the UK Intellectual Property Office to monitor new trademark applications and detect marks that may overlap with your brand name, product line, or keyword.

UK filings are a strong early warning signal for companies operating in English speaking markets or expanding into Europe. Each result opens in the same unified detail view, showing status, filing dates, classes, owner details, and event history.

UKIPO trademark data is monitored continuously and matched daily against your protected keywords.

South Korea Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO)

BrandCat monitors trademark filings through the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), one of the world's top 10 trademark jurisdictions by annual filing activity. In 2024 alone, KIPO recorded 315,947 trademark application class filings, according to WIPO's World Intellectual Property Indicators.

South Korea is a first-to-file jurisdiction, making early detection critical. BrandCat scans new Korean applications daily to identify marks that look or sound similar to your monitored keywords, including Latin and Hangul variations.

Each match opens into the same unified detail view used across all supported registries, displaying application number, filing and registration dates, Nice classes, owner information, and full status history.

KIPO trademark data is monitored continuously and matched daily against your protected keywords.

JPO trademark monitoring showing fullwidth Unicode normalization

Japan Japan Patent Office (JPO)

BrandCat monitors Japanese trademark filings through the Japan Patent Office (JPO), helping you detect new applications that may conflict with your brand name, product, or keyword.

Japanese typography frequently uses fullwidth Latin characters and native scripts such as Katakana, which can easily bypass basic trademark search tools. BrandCat automatically normalizes Unicode variants and script differences, so searches like ＤＵＯＬＩＮＧＯ and DUOLINGO return identical results.

BrandCat also supports translated name matching, allowing Latin searches to detect trademark owners and correspondents written in Japanese scripts.

For example, a search for Duolingo Incorporated will also match デュオリンゴ・インコーポレイテッド.

Each match opens into the same unified detail view used across all supported registries, showing filing dates, owner details, Nice classes, status, and event history.

JPO trademark filings are monitored continuously and matched weekly against your protected keywords.

Switzerland Swiss Intellectual Property Office (SwissReg)

With the SwissReg integration, BrandCat expands your protection to Switzerland. Trademark publications are retrieved and analyzed daily through the official IGE API, ensuring your alerts cover all active filings within the Swiss jurisdiction.

Canada Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO)

BrandCat now includes comprehensive coverage of Canadian trademarks through the official CIPO dataset. With over 850,000 active trademarks in Canada, BrandCat monitors new filings and updates as they appear in the national registry.

Australia IP Australia

BrandCat now includes full integration with the Australian trademark registry. All new filings and status updates from IP Australia are scanned, parsed, and matched daily against your protected keywords.

Just like in the U.S., Europe, Canada, and Switzerland, every Australian match opens into a clean, unified detail view showing owner information, classes, status, events, and important dates.

New Australian trademarks are published daily through the official IP Australia API.

IP Australia trademark details view

Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ) New Zealand

BrandCat now supports trademark monitoring through the official Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ). All new filings and status updates are retrieved directly from the national registry and matched against your monitored keywords.

Each result opens into a full trademark detail view, including application number, filing date, current status, owner information, Nice classes, and a complete event timeline.

This makes New Zealand the 7th jurisdiction covered by BrandCat, alongside the U.S., EU, Switzerland, Canada, and Australia.

New Zealand trademark data is retrieved from IPONZ’s official API and monitored continuously.
