How Nishaan compares.
With reading the journal by hand, and with QuickCompany, the tool firms most often ask us about. Where the other way is stronger, we say so.
Against reading the journal by hand.
| By hand | Nishaan | |
|---|---|---|
| Every advertised mark checked | Only what someone has time to read that week | Every mark in the journal, against every mark in your portfolio, class by class |
| Logo marks | Easy to skip when the logo has no typed text | AI reads the words in every logo, Hindi included; similar pictures are matched too |
| Sound-alike marks | Depends on the reader | Matched by sound, by shared word parts and by overall similarity, and each match says why |
| Last date to oppose | Worked out and diarised by hand | Shown on every journal and every match |
| Letter to the client and TM-O | Typed each time | Drafted on your letterhead, from your own Word template if you upload one |
| Dates after the opposition | A diary or a spreadsheet | Rules 44 to 47 worked out for both sides, with the next step on every case |
Against QuickCompany.
The same entry prices. QuickCompany has its own AI search, a logo image search, WhatsApp updates and WIPO marks. Nishaan does more of the work after a conflict is found: letters, TM-O drafts, both sides’ dates and a portal for your clients.
| QuickCompany | Nishaan | |
|---|---|---|
| Price a month | ₹1,999 and ₹4,999 | Starter ₹1,999, Professional ₹4,999, Firm ₹9,999, Enterprise on request |
| Journal and opposition watch | Yes | Yes: word, word part, sound, overall similarity, similar logo, and what a logo shows |
| AI | AI search | AI reads every journal logo, drafts replies to examination reports, suggests classes and reviews matches |
| Logo search | Logo image search | Logos compared within each journal; no separate image search of the register |
| Deadlines and calendar | Yes | Section 21 and Rules 44 to 47 for both sides, exam-report replies and renewals |
| Letters and Form TM-O drafts on your letterhead | Not listed on their watch page | Yes, in Word and PDF |
| Sharing with clients | Dockets can be shared with the team or the client | A client portal: marks, documents, messages, one-tap approval of oppositions and new-filing requests |
| Well-known marks check | Not listed on their watch page | Each journal checked against IP India’s list of well-known marks |
| Updates on WhatsApp or email | Invite links can be shared on WhatsApp; WhatsApp reports wait for Meta’s approval | |
| International marks | Watch and manage for WIPO | India only |
