## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Short answer
> 
> For most small businesses, the right answer is **Markify Watch for trademarks + Amazon Brand Registry (if you sell products) + Google Alerts**, and you add specialist tools only when you actually have an infringement problem. Here's the order I'd go in:
> 
> **1. Markify Watch - best value trademark watch, start here**
> Best price in the category: ~$39/year for US federal coverage, $59/yr EU, $129/yr for ~190 countries. It uses fuzzy/AI similarity matching, so it catches near-misses (misspellings, phonetic matches) rather than just identical marks. At $39, there's no real reason for a small business not to have this running. ([markify.com](https://markify.com/services/trademark-watch.html))
> 
> **2. Amazon Brand Registry / Brand Protection - free, if you sell physical goods**
> If you have a registered trademark and sell on Amazon, this is free, and it's the single highest-leverage thing on this list. Automated counterfeit detection plus a takedown pipeline that actually works, because the platform owns the enforcement. Same logic for eBay VeRO, Etsy, and Walmart's equivalents - enroll in each one you sell on before paying anyone.
> 
> **3. Google Alerts + a reverse image search
