WHAT WE MONITOR
TRADEMARKS
Overview
It is important to understand why a mark is likely to cause confusion in the marketplace. For one thing, you do not want to spend the time and money submitting a trademark application that may be rejected due to the likelihood of confusion. Organisations should also be aware of similar marks and whether the use of these marks constitutes infringement.
FAQ's
Registered trademarks are protected by law. However, trademark violations occur on a daily basis, and you will certainly want to be informed as soon as someone infringes your rights. Trademarks Worldwide Ltd promptly notifies you about anyone using a trademark similar to yours. Such knowledge enables you to take effective action against trademark infringements.
Currently, we are incorporating trademarks from the US, UK, and Trademarks Worldwide Ltd into our databases.
Open your personal account to review the results of your monitoring subscription at any time. In addition, you may choose to receive either a weekly or monthly report, or you can look up the results yourself.
Our computer systems assess similarity by employing a combination of different algorithms. Although it is our trade secret how this process truly works (similar to how Google® does not disclose the details of how search results are ranked), we can inform you that the Levenshtein distance plays a vital role, along with other factors.
Currently, we are analysing trademarks from the EU, UK, and US. We are continuously expanding our portfolio and will soon be able to analyse trademarks from every country.

End of an Era: Donatella Versace Steps Down as Creative Director
After nearly three decades at the helm of the Versace fashion house, Donatella Versace is set to retire as creative director, paving the way for a new chapter under Dario Vitale, a former Miu Miu designer, who will assume the role on 1 April. Reflecting on her tenure, Versace, 69, described continuing her late brother Gianni’s legacy as the “greatest honour” of her life. Her departure coincides with swirling speculation of a potential acquisition, with reports indicating Prada is eyeing a €1.5 billion takeover from Capri Holdings. Since acquiring Versace in 2018, Capri Holdings—formerly Michael Kors Holdings—has maintained a steady revenue stream, surpassing $5.65 billion in 2024. Despite ranking 13th among global luxury brands in 2022, Versace trails industry giants such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Dior, underscoring the high-stakes nature of its future leadership and ownership shifts. Following chart shows Versace’s revenue from 2019 to 2024 (in million U.S. dollars), illustrating an overall upward trend despite a slight decline in the fiscal year ending March 30, 2024, when global revenues reached approximately $1 billion, down from the previous year but still significantly higher than the $840 million recorded in 2020.
