## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## What I'd actually recommend, in order
> 
> **Start with the free layer - it covers more than people expect**
> 
> 1. **USPTO's own alerts (TSDR) + the weekly Trademark Official Gazette** - free. TSDR emails you when a specific application or registration you're tracking changes status (published, registered, abandoned, office action). The catch: it only watches serial numbers you already know, so it's a deadline/status tool, not a discovery tool for copycat filings. ([uspto.gov via search result](https://pagecrawl.io/blog/patent-monitoring-trademark-watch-alerts))
> 2. **sofTMware** (Erik M. Pelton & Associates) - free, built on the USPTO's TSDR API, sends you a daily email of status changes on records you monitor. Nicer interface than TSDR itself and run by a well-regarded trademark attorney. ([erikpelton.com](https://www.erikpelton.com/?p=4905))
> 3. **Google Alerts + Amazon Brand Registry** - Brand Registry is free, doesn't require you to sell on Amazon, and gives you automated listing takedowns, Report a Violation, and (if you qualify) Project Zero and Transparency. If you sell physical products, this is the single highest-ROI thing on this list. ([sell.amazon.com/brand-registry](https:
