## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-05 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a startup, "IP monitoring" is really three or four different jobs with very different price points. Here's what I'd actually buy, in order.
> 
> ## 1. Markify Watch - the default for a startup trademark watch
> **$39/yr** for US federal, $59 EU, $129 for ~190 countries; domain-name watch from **$29/yr**. It ranks new filings by likelihood of confusion (fuzzy/phonetic matching, not just exact strings), which is the whole point of a watch service. At this price there's no reason not to have one running the day your mark publishes.

> 
> ## 2. USPTO TSDR + Official Gazette alerts (free) - but know the limit
> Free status-change emails on serial numbers you already own, plus Gazette RSS. Good for "did my office action land / is renewal due," useless for discovery - it won't find a confusing new mark filed by someone else. Free wrappers like sofTMware and trademarkregistration.app send plain-English daily digests of the same data.
