Dex-Watch
Dexin's monitoring suite — six tools that automatically watch for new trademark filings that could conflict with your portfolio or are relevant to your interests.
What is Dex-Watch?
Dex-Watch is Dexin's proactive monitoring suite. While the Portfolio keeps you updated on trademarks you already manage, Dex-Watch watches the wider India trademark ecosystem for new filings that matter to you — before they become a problem.
All six Dex-Watch tools run automatically. Once you set up your watches, scans happen in the background without any manual action needed.
The Six Watch Tools
Scans each week's India trademark journal for newly published marks that are similar to your portfolio trademarks. Every time a new journal is published, Dex-Watch compares the newly published marks against your trademark names and flags potential conflicts for your review.
Match types: Filter results by Exact, Starts With, Contains, Phonetic (sounds-alike), or Fuzzy (similar spelling) matching — or view all types at once. Fuzzy matches load progressively in the background and appear once ready.
Portfolio TM filter: Use the combobox to narrow results to conflicts against a single trademark from your portfolio — useful when you want to review exposure for one specific mark.
How to use: Select a journal week from the Dex-Watch → Weekly Journal Watch tab. No setup needed — the comparison runs automatically based on your active portfolio.
The same concept as Journal Watch but applied to daily new filings — not just the weekly journal. Monitors every day's new trademark applications for similarity to your portfolio marks, so you catch potential conflicts as early as the filing date.
Portfolio TM filter: Use the combobox to narrow results to one specific portfolio trademark — same as in Weekly Journal Watch.
How to use: Select a date from the Dex-Watch → Daily Filing Watch tab to see new marks filed that day similar to your portfolio trademarks.
Define custom keywords — brand names, concepts, or strings you want to protect. Dex-Watch scans every day's new trademark filings for matches to your keywords and logs any hits.
Match types available:
- Exact match — only the precise keyword
- Starts with — any new mark starting with your keyword
- Contains — any new mark containing your keyword anywhere
You can optionally restrict a keyword watch to a specific NICE class — so you only get alerts for relevant goods and services.
Manage: Add, remove, or pause individual keyword watches. Results are grouped by date found and shown in a filterable list.
Track a specific proprietor — a competitor company, a known infringer, or any entity whose new filings you want to monitor. Whenever they file a new trademark application, it appears in your Proprietor Watch results.
Manage: Add, remove, or pause individual proprietor watches. Results show all their new filings grouped by date found. Useful for tracking competitor brand strategy in real time.
Track the new trademark filings made by a specific agent. Whenever an agent you follow files a new application, it appears in your Agent Watch results. Useful for monitoring key agents handling competitor filings or clients who use multiple firms.
Quick add: When viewing agent search results or the Full Search (MasterDB), click the + icon next to any agent name to add them to your Agent Watch instantly.
Manage: Add, remove, or pause individual agent watches from the Dex-Watch → Agent Watch tab. Results show new filings grouped by date found.
Track the new trademark filings handled by a specific attorney. Whenever an attorney you follow files a new application, it appears in your Attorney Watch results. Useful for monitoring opposing counsel or tracking high-volume attorneys in your space.
Quick add: When viewing attorney search results or the Full Search (MasterDB), click the + icon next to any attorney name to add them to your Attorney Watch instantly.
Manage: Add, remove, or pause individual attorney watches from the Dex-Watch → Attorney Watch tab. Results show new filings grouped by date found.
Fully Automatic
All Dex-Watch scans run on a schedule — you do not need to trigger them manually. Journal Watch updates when a new India trademark journal is published. Daily Filing Watch, Word, Proprietor, Agent, and Attorney Watches all scan each day's new filings automatically. Set up your watches once and Dex-Watch runs in the background indefinitely.
