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. Requires a free GleanMark account.
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, similar mark filings, USPTO citations, ownership transfers, TTAB proceedings, deadline warnings, and more. Monitoring requires a paid plan.
What is Examiner Search?
Examiner Search is GleanMark's TESS replacement — a professional search tool with 18 field codes, Form and Query modes, phonetic expansion, wildcards, coordinated classes (710 from USPTO), filing basis, date ranges, set operations, save/load sessions, and PDF export. Available at /tess-search for logged-in users and /examiner-search as a landing page.
What is Markus AI?
Markus is GleanMark's AI copilot for trademark professionals. Search 13.9M+ marks, pull prosecution records, compare similar marks, and draft OA responses — all through natural conversation. Available on Professional and Firm plans.
What is OA Intelligence?
OA Intelligence lets you search and research recent USPTO office action cases. Search by refusal type, examiner, or outcome, or enter a serial number to find scored precedent cases based on class overlap, goods similarity, cited marks, and argument strategy. Available on Professional and Firm plans.
