NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - Sept. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- (Newport Beach, CA) The Law Offices of Christine Karol Roberts announces the launch of a trademark watch service, GazetteWatchsm. Now available for purchase on its website www.ckrobertslaw.com. The website now supports e-commerce, prospective clients can purchase services and choose to pay with the four major credit cards, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. The firm chose to use a hosted checkout provided by Bank of America Merchant Services and its e-commerce partner, First Data, who is known for its state of the art secured Global Gateway e4 service. Clients will have the comfort of knowing that their online purchase is absolutely secure.

GazetteWatchsm performs a weekly watch and review of the Official Gazette (OG) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website to determine if any identical or confusingly similar conflicting marks exist for a cost-efficient, fixed annual fee. The watch service will alert users, the trademark owner, to the publication of potential confusing or conflicting names or designs which may infringe one or more of your trademarks, before they become registered trademarks. GazetteWatchsm will also watch the USPTO site for newly filed applications.

It is a trademark owner’s obligation to actively police the market and potential infringers in order to insure that your trademark rights remain intact. Diligence is not an option, it is a necessity.

The USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) publishes a Weekly Trademark Gazette listing all names and designs which have been approved by the USPTO for registration as trademarks. Over 200,000 trademark applications are "published" each year. The USPTO publishes these potential trademarks and/or service marks in the Official Gazette to enable the general public to oppose any trademark that may infringe upon their rights prior to actual registration of the mark in question. GazetteWatchsm will insure that users are put on immediate notice of any potential infringing marks.

Oppositions to potential trademarks must be received by the USPTO within thirty (30) days of publishing in the Official Gazette. This is a very short time period for the busy entrepreneur, corporation, or law firm. GazetteWatchsm will be a partner in diligently protecting valuable intellectual property for users.

GazetteWatchsm performs a weekly watch service to enable users to protect their existing trademarks/service marks and logos and free up your valuable time for a minimal annual fee. Reports on any conflicting marks will enable users to timely file any trademark oppositions, which can also be handled & filed by the Law Offices of Christine Karol Roberts for a competitive fee.

The trademark watch services can be found on the Purchase Services Page and GazetteWatchsm Page at www.ckrobertslaw.com.
