The Essence of Monitoring — the Register and the Bulletin

Trademark monitoring means the systematic tracking of registration processes, terms and changes in legal status — both for one's own mark and against competitors' and blocking applications. The legal foundation of this system is the Georgian Law on Trademarks: under it, the registration of a mark is entered in the register of trademarks and the data are published in the bulletin. The register contains the representation of the mark, information about the holder, the priority and registration dates, and the list of goods grouped under the international classifier — exactly the data on which a confusion assessment is built.

Any interested person may, after submitting an appropriate application to Sakpatenti, examine the register's data and request a certified extract — a declaratory instrument that allows one's position in the competitive environment to be checked.
