In short

How do I alert clients about conflicting trademark applications automatically?

Every morning, WebRun opens Alt Legal, reads new Section 2(d) watch hits against your clients' marks, and matches each conflicting application to the affected client. It drafts a client alert email in Gmail, leaves it unsent for an attorney to review, and posts your team a Slack summary so close conflicts surface fast without any message going out unapproved.

  • Conflicting filings surface the morning they hit the watch
  • Client alerts are drafted for review, never sent unattended
  • Short opposition windows get an attorney's eyes first

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email clients about a conflict on its own?

No. WebRun drafts the client alert in Gmail and leaves it unsent for an attorney to review and send. No conflict alert reaches a client until a person approves both the finding and the wording.

How does it know which filings conflict?

WebRun reads the Section 2(d) trademark watch hits Alt Legal already surfaces, then matches each flagged application to the affected client and mark, so you review real watch results rather than a fresh guess.

Can it flag a short opposition window?

Yes. WebRun highlights conflicts with a near opposition or response deadline first in the Slack summary, so time-sensitive filings get an attorney's eyes before the window closes.
