TMGuard is a trademark monitoring and information platform. We help you stay informed about trademark filings that could affect your brand. Below we explain exactly what our service includes, what tools we provide, and where our service ends.
Information: what we provide
Data about UK trademark filings from the IPO Trade Marks Journal
Conflict detection: identifying marks that are textually, phonetically, or visually similar to yours
Risk scoring: an algorithmic estimate of how similar a filing is to your mark
Deadline tracking: monitoring opposition windows and renewal dates
Opposition intelligence: data from 9,300+ published IPO decisions
Companies House enrichment: public company data about applicants
All of this is factual data and algorithmic analysis. It is not a legal opinion.
Workflow Assistance: tools we provide
Tools to help you understand your options when a conflict is detected
Draft document generation (TM7, TM7a, TM8 forms) for your review
Timeline management for opposition and defence deadlines
Case packet preparation to share with your legal advisor
Email forwarding and AI parsing of IPO correspondence
These are tools to assist your workflow. Draft documents are starting points for professional review, not final submissions.
Legal Advice: what we do NOT provide
Recommendations on whether you should oppose a particular filing
Advice on which legal grounds to use in an opposition
Assessment of your likelihood of success in a specific case
Opinions on whether a conflict is legally significant to your business
Representation before the UK IPO or any tribunal
These decisions require a qualified trademark solicitor or attorney who understands your specific circumstances.
