Frequently Asked Questions
Does trademark monitoring guarantee every conflict will be found?+
No. Monitoring is limited by the selected databases, search logic, jurisdictions, classes and frequency. It reduces risk but cannot eliminate all conflicts.
Can StartupKart manage trademarks filed by another professional?+
Yes, subject to access to complete records, authorisations and a clear transfer or portfolio-management scope.
Is opposition filing included in monitoring fees?+
Normally no. Monitoring identifies and reports potential conflicts; opposition or legal action is separately reviewed and quoted.
Can you manage international renewals?+
Yes, international portfolio management can include WIPO and foreign-jurisdiction renewals or recordals, with local-associate coordination where required.
How often should a portfolio be audited?+
At minimum, key records should be reviewed before major expansion or investment events. Active portfolios benefit from quarterly or half-yearly review.
Important Disclaimer: Monitoring is performed within the agreed jurisdictions, classes, databases, search criteria and frequency. It does not guarantee detection of every potentially conflicting use or filing. Opposition, enforcement, investigation and legal proceedings are separate services.
