The worst case for “Cupcake Cats” – what it would look like
Anyone getting too close to your sign rarely uses the exact same word. These forms of approximation are typical – this is what a real case involving “Cupcake Cats” would look like.
If such a sign were filed, you would have three months from its publication to file an opposition – after that, only the courts remain.
For context: in a sample of 600 Swiss word marks, 49 phonetically confusable name pairs were found.
These signs are machine-generated examples and do not exist in the register. Filings of exactly this kind are what the watch service detects on the day they are published. Entries marked in red, however, do exist.
How long does examination take?
Measured across 22 registrations in class 3 in our data set: from filing to registration takes 46 days on average. The middle half of all proceedings falls between 11 and 64 days.
Your filing has been running for 171 days, longer than three quarters of comparable proceedings (64 days). This is often the first sign of an objection – frequently weeks before the IPI letter arrives.
The basis is exclusively filings from 1 Jan 2026 onwards; our observation window covers 228 days. Proceedings that take longer cannot appear in it yet – the real duration is therefore likely above these figures.

Klasse 3 umfasst Kosmetika, Parfümeriewaren, Seifen sowie Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel. Eine der aktivsten Warenklassen überhaupt: Beauty-Labels, Naturkosmetik und Pflegeprodukte werden laufend neu angemeldet.
The name "Cupcake Cats" in numbers
Compared with 1'630 word marks in the stock listed here – the rarer the profile, the fewer direct name neighbours.
What “Cupcake Cats” does NOT protect
Trademark protection applies exclusively to the Nice classes claimed – for “Cupcake Cats” these are classes 3. Everything outside remains open. Marks with a comparable profile typically also protect these areas, which are not covered here:
- Class 35 – Werbung, Handel & Beratung: Klasse 35 umfasst Werbung, Marketing, Unternehmensberatung, Detailhandel und E-Commerce-Dienstleistungen. Die meistgenutzte Dienstleistungsklasse: Agenturen, Berater und Online-Shops melden hier praktisch immer an – entsprechend eng ist der Namensraum.
- Class 44 – Medizin & Schönheitspflege: Klasse 44 deckt medizinische und veterinärmedizinische Dienstleistungen sowie Gesundheits- und Schönheitspflege ab: Praxen, Kliniken, Kosmetikstudios, Coiffeure. Gesundheits- und Beauty-Dienstleister sind hier laufend mit neuen Marken präsent.
- Class 5 – Pharma & Gesundheit: Klasse 5 umfasst Arzneimittel, Nahrungsergänzungsmittel, Desinfektionsmittel und medizinische Präparate. Pharmaunternehmen, Hersteller von Supplements und Gesundheitsprodukten sorgen hier für konstant hohe Anmeldezahlen.
A class can only be added with a new application, not retroactively – with an initial filing, each additional class costs roughly CHF 100 extra.

The gap in the system: The IPI does not check whether new applications resemble existing trademarks – in March 2026 alone, 48 new word marks were added, none of them compared with "Cupcake Cats". Whoever files a confusingly similar trademark normally gets it registered – unless the owner of the earlier trademark defends themselves.
The mildest remedy is an opposition before the IPI (official fee CHF 800, three months from publication of the registration). Miss the deadline and only the far more expensive route through the civil courts remains. Early detection therefore directly determines effort and cost.

Movement in the register: In this trademark's classes, 27 trademarks were cancelled or expired in the last 3 months (19,4 % of the listed stock) – mostly missed renewals or abandoned signs. The renewal reminder below protects you from that.
Your time window – and what comes after
If someone files a confusable sign, a three-month deadline starts running from its publication. Use it and you can stop the mark at the IPI. Miss it and only civil litigation remains.
In time or too late – the difference
Guide values: the IPI opposition fee is around CHF 800. Civil proceedings typically start in the five-figure range and take years.
