There is a wealth of information available that can be useful to help you improve or re-position your brands, to identify marketing opportunities, and to highlight potential infringement.
As an example, Towergate pioneered the compilation of data highlighting trademarks that USPTO examiners have refused under 2(d), to create a new type of report that cross references all refused marks and with those marks cited by the examiner. Our popular 2(d) Citation Watch reveals all published mark that have been previously refused, as well as confusingly similar pending applications that have been issued an office action. For the first time, mark owners and correspondents could be alerted when their marks have been cited under a third-party refusal, so that they could be proactive in preventing potential infringement.
