Frequently Asked Questions
What is trademark research?
Trademark research is the process of investigating trademark registrations, ownership, and potential conflicts before filing a new mark or evaluating brand risk. It typically involves searching the USPTO database, reviewing similar marks, and analyzing TTAB proceedings.
How is GleanMark different from USPTO.gov?
GleanMark provides a modern interface, phonetic matching, owner portfolios, and TTAB integration — all in one place. USPTO.gov is the official source for filings. GleanMark uses the same USPTO data but makes research faster.
Do I need an account to search?
No. Basic text search, owner portfolios, goods & services search, and full trademark detail pages are free without an account.
What is trademark clearance analysis?
AI-powered evaluation of brand name availability across the USPTO database. It identifies potential conflicts based on phonetic, visual, and conceptual similarity. Included on Starter and above, and in the 7-day trial or a Day Pass. The Free plan does not include clearance analysis.
How does similar marks detection work?
GleanMark uses phonetic (sound-alike), trigram (character overlap), and algorithm-based matching to surface marks that may be confusingly similar. This goes beyond exact text matches to find marks like KOOL when searching for COOL.
What types of monitoring are available?
35 alert types including status changes, new filings that match your watch criteria, USPTO citations, ownership transfers, TTAB proceedings, deadline warnings, and more. The free plan monitors 3 trademarks and 1 owner and gets those alerts; the conflict watches and criteria-based Watch Searches that scan every new USPTO filing start on Starter.
What is Markus AI?
Markus is GleanMark's AI copilot for trademark professionals. Search 14M+ marks, pull prosecution records, compare similar marks, and draft OA responses — all through natural conversation. Available on Professional and Max plans.
What is OA Intelligence?
OA Intelligence lets you search and research recent USPTO office action cases. Search by refusal type, examiner, class, or outcome, and read the office action and the response side by side. Available on Professional and Max plans.
