Other engines not included. ## The answer, as recorded Asked on 2026-10-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5). > For a small business, "IP monitoring" is really three separate jobs - watching for copycat trademark filings, watching marketplaces/domains for counterfeits and impersonators, and watching for copied images/content. Different tools win each one, so here's what I'd actually use, in order. > > ## Start here (free, 30 minutes of setup) > > **Google Alerts + USPTO TSDR / Official Gazette.** Set alerts on your brand name, common misspellings, and your name + "coupon"/"outlet". The USPTO gives you free status lookup and a weekly gazette of newly published marks, but neither pushes notifications - the policing burden is on you once you're registered, and the opposition window after publication is only 30 days. This is a real gap, not a substitute for a watch service, but it costs nothing and catches the loud stuff. ([promise.legal](https://blog.promise.legal/startup-central/trademark-monitoring-after-registration/), [bolster.ai](https://bolster.ai/glossary/trademark-monitoring)) > > **Amazon Brand Registry** if you sell physical goods - free with a registered mark, and it's the fastest takedown path on the platform you're most likely to be ripped off on.
