Why this matters to a brand owner

Every one of these applications started a clock. If any of them looks like a name you use, the cheapest moment to respond is before it registers — and the 30-day opposition window opens on the USPTO's schedule, not yours. That's the entire reason MarkAlarm exists: run your name through the free check, and see in seconds whether anything in the current window looks close.
