The US Full trademark search report

Learn more about the Markify advantage

We believe every new brand should get a comprehensive search report before filing a trademark application and launching the brand. In order to achieve this, the responsible attorney needs two things:

1. A high quality trademark clearance report, that does not miss anything and that can be analyzed easily and fast.
2. A price tag that allows all brands to invest in the report and in the attorney time.

How is this possible?

At Markify we early made these two challenges our mission and key principles. How did we succeed doing this? We are a technology driven team who have sophisticated algorithms, machine learning and deep learning doing the heavy work. This makes our full trademark search reports faster, cheaper and also more reliable since there is no risk for human error.

Below you will find more detailed information about the Markify advantage. If you need even more information, just send us an email at [email protected] and we will try to answer you.

• Accuracy of the comprehensive trademark algorithm

  Back to top

  The Comprehensive search algorithm is trained with a proprietary statistical method, using more than 1 million official cases (2(d) citations and oppositions) where two marks have been found confusingly similar by a government official.

  This means that the Comprehensive search and monitoring reports covers all the usual search strategies, such as:

  • identical
  • phonetic similarity
  • orthographic similarity and misspellings
  • prefix, infix and suffix variations
  • vowel and consonant similarity
  • plurals and stemming
  • abbreviations and acronyms
  • translations
  • other similarities

  The "signal-to-noise ratio" - the scientific name for measuring accuracy - is tested as the best in the trademark search industry (see independent Benchmark Report). The Comprehensive search algorithm finds more than 99% of potential conflicts, and it does it with a total number of results that on average is 50% lower than any comparable full report done by any other provider.

  The Comprehensive search algorithm is used for both our USPTO and state records.

• State records included

  Back to top

  A lot of businesses still choose to only register their trademark in their state. A truly full US search must include the relevant state records, and the Markify US Full does.

• Full common law coverage

  The report comes with a complete common law coverage, including:

  • Business names – A search among more than 20 million secretary of state business records will give you both identical and similar results.
  • Domain names – Identical and very similar results from all (+1000) TLDs gives you a unique view of the domain name landscape surrounding your new mark.
  • Web – Our web search is an automated search combining the trademark name with your most important keywords. The search eliminates all usual search biases.
  • Images – A specific web search for images associated with the mark name is also useful when clearing a mark from non-registered brands.
  • Social media – Our social media search will explore the use of your trademark name in world's largest social networks: Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.
  • Social names – We check if the trademark name is registered as a user name in 100 social networks.

• Statistical relevance ranking of results

  Back to top

  All results in comprehensive reports are per default relevance ranked (you can use any sorting method, like alphabetical or other). The method is based on a statistical analysis of the above described 1 million official cases.

  This statistical method answers the question: How often does this kind of similar result lead to a perceived "conflict"? The higher the statistical risk, the higher you will find that result in the list.

• Five classes included - plus identical results and dead marks

  Back to top

  We always let you include up to five classes but you can for a small fee (+2,5%) add as many classes as you want.
