Can I limit a keyword watch to one NICE class?

Yes. Scope a watch to a single NICE class (1 to 45) so you only hear about filings in the categories where you actually compete, or leave it open to watch every class.

Q: What is a trademark keyword watch?

A keyword watch monitors new USPTO trademark filings for a word or phrase you choose. When a newly filed mark matches your keyword, WikiTrademarks alerts you, so you learn about a potentially conflicting filing early instead of months later.

Q: How is a keyword watch different from watching a brand?

Watching a brand follows filings from one existing owner. A keyword watch follows the word itself across every new applicant, so you catch newcomers filing a name similar to yours before they have a brand profile.

Watch a word, not just a brand. We scan new USPTO filings every day and alert you the moment a mark matches your keyword. It's the early warning you want while there's still time to act.
