Before filing · For trademark attorneys
The examiner will find it. MarkSense finds it first.
A federal knockout screen before you file. Never a clearance opinion.
How it works
Which registrations is an examiner likely to cite against this mark?
- You give itA proposed mark and its goods or services.
- MarkSense doesScreens the federal trademark register for registrations an examiner would likely cite, scoring mark and goods separately.
- You getA ranked list of likely citations, with each owner and status of record.
Step by step
What happens, in order.
- Searches the federal trademark register for marks an examiner would likely cite under Section 2(d).
- Scores mark similarity and goods relatedness separately, so you see why each registration matters.
- Checks each registration’s owner and status of record, live or dead.
- Ranks the likely citations, with mark and goods scores side by side.
Schematic screen. No real data is shown.
What it is notIt is not a clearance opinion or a common-law search. A short list does not mean a mark is clear, and a lower-ranked registration may still be cited. You decide what to tell the client.
