Under-protected, and it costs you
Independent artists and designers are notoriously under-protected — the studio name, a recurring character or design mark, a product line brand. When someone else registers something similar, the fallout ranges from marketplace takedowns of your own work to a forced rebrand. Artists are also frequent targets precisely because they rarely watch the register.
MarkAlarm reads every new US application daily and tells you when one looks similar to a name you're watching — while there's still a window to act. Free check above.
Daily monitoring, next-business-day alerts, weekly all-clear. Cancel anytime.

Is this legal advice?
No — MarkAlarm surfaces public USPTO filings and similarity scores with links to the official record. Whether to act on a filing is a legal decision; if one worries you, a trademark attorney is the right next step, and you'll arrive with the filing already in hand.
Do I need a registered trademark to use it?
No. Many people watch a name they use but haven't registered — so they learn immediately if someone else moves to register it.
How do I cancel?
Email support any time and we'll cancel it, or use the billing link in your Stripe receipt. It takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for. Card payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your card.
