## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually answer this. First a framing point that changes the recommendation: "IP monitoring" is really two different products, and small businesses often buy the wrong one.
> 
> - **Register watch** - alerts you when someone files a confusingly similar trademark. Cheap, preventive, low volume.
> - **Online/marketplace enforcement** - finds and takes down counterfeit listings, knockoff sites, fake social accounts. Much pricier, and only worth it if infringement is already costing you money.
> 
> Also: almost none of this has teeth without a **registered trademark**. If you don't have one yet, that's the first spend, not monitoring.
> 
> ## What I'd recommend, in order
> 
> **1. Amazon Brand Registry (free) - if you sell physical products online**
> Best ROI in the category because it costs nothing and plugs directly into enforcement on the platform where most knockoffs show up. Needs a registered mark; Amazon's **IP Accelerator** connects you to vetted attorneys at pre-negotiated rates and grants early access to protection tools *before* registration completes. Amazon doesn't charge for IP Accelerator - you pay the law firm. ([aboutamazon.ca](https://www.aboutamazon.ca/news/small-busines
