TRADEMARK MONITORING WORKFLOW GUIDE · POST-REGISTRATION

Your Firm's Blueprint - Already Written

Your monitoring service needs a system behind it.

7 done-for-you workflows and 4 visual flowcharts covering every stage of trademark monitoring and enforcement - from existing client onboarding to cease and desist situations.

Built from direct attorney requests. This guide was created because trademark attorneys asked for a clear, documented system for managing, monitoring, and enforcement services. Every workflow inside reflects how this work actually runs in practice.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

This is for you if…

You offer or are building out trademark monitoring and enforcement services and need a documented system to run it.

You offer trademark monitoring services and need a clear workflow that your team can follow

You're planning to offer monitoring services and want the system ready before your first client

You use Monday.com, Lawmatics, Fidu, or any CRM, and want to build these workflows inside your tool

You want a visual flowchart alongside the written workflow so you can see the big picture

You're a solo attorney managing monitoring without a full team and need something practical

WHAT IS A WORKFLOW?

A workflow shows you how the work flows.

A workflow is a documented sequence of steps - who does what, in what order, and what happens next. For trademark monitoring and enforcement, having this documented means your process runs the same way every time - whether it's you, your assistant, or your team handling it.

Each workflow in this guide is built around a trigger - the specific event that kicks the process off. Find your trigger, follow the steps, and your monitoring service runs consistently from start to finish.

HOW TO READ THE WORKFLOWS

Every step is color coded.

Before you open the guide, here's the color key so you know exactly what each step means at a glance.

🟢 Green: Client Action

Something your client needs to do or receive

🟠 Orange: Manual Task

A step your team handles directly

🟡 Yellow: Automated

Set this up as an automation in your CRM or practice management tool

🔴 Red: Needs Approval

This step requires attorney review before moving forward

🔵 Blue Text: Personalize

Replace with your firm's specific language, tone, or process details

Questions attorneys ask

Do I have to already be offering monitoring services to use this?

No, if you know you want to offer trademark monitoring and enforcement in the future, this is exactly where to start. The workflows are general enough to help you build the service from scratch and specific enough to implement immediately once you're ready.

Can I build these workflows inside CRM or LPM?

Yes. The guide is your blueprint - each workflow has a trigger that maps directly to an event inside your tool. Use the color key to identify which steps should be automated, which are manual tasks, and which need attorney approval. Build one workflow at a time and go from there.

Is this suitable for solo attorneys without a full team?

Absolutely. The workflows are designed to be adaptable - you can run them yourself or assign steps to an assistant or contractor. The color coding makes it easy to see which steps can be delegated and which need to stay with you.

What format is the guide in?

Google Docs with a clickable table of contents so you can jump straight to whichever workflow you need. The visual flowcharts are included inside the same document.

How do I add a question and answer to my FAQ section?
