About TMwebscan

Many companies recognise how important it is to monitor the use of their trade marks on the internet. However, using internet search engines to identify web pages mentioning your trade names and trade marks is very time consuming.

Because core business activities must always come first, the amount of time spent on this low-priority task is usually very limited. With only a small number of hits examined in detail, the results of your efforts are probably random and incomplete. If these searches are not carried out as a matter of routine every day, it is very easy to miss web pages on which your trade name is misused.

Would the systematic monitoring service provided by Novagraaf's TMwebscan be the solution for you? With constant and thorough monitoring of your trade marks, your time and attention is only required when misuse of your trade mark is discovered.
