My client's drinkware brand just received an extension of time to oppose from YETI Coolers. What has YETI opposed or tried to cancel over the last five years, what kinds of marks does it go after, and how did those cases end? Does it usually litigate to a decision or settle?
65 substantive inter partes proceedings in the five-year window: 64 oppositions and 1 cancellation, targeting 66 distinct marks. Only 4 are still open.

Every Markus response shown is genuine, unscripted product output from a live run (dated on each session), condensed for space, never rewritten. The attorneys and clients in the scenarios are invented, inspired by the kinds of questions practitioners ask; no GleanMark customer's matter or wording is used. Every mark, owner, serial number, registration number, disclaimer finding and ID Manual Term ID was independently re-verified against the USPTO record, and where Markus got something wrong or couldn't confirm it, the session says so.
Markus produces research and first drafts for review by a qualified practitioner. It is a research tool, not legal advice, and not a substitute for an attorney.
“The benefit that Markus has over Claude or ChatGPT — or Gemini, I use Gemini a lot because my whole firm is built on Google Apps — none of them can search the USPTO like Markus can.”
Why not just use ChatGPT?
You just read the sessions — here's the difference in principle.
Real data, not hallucinations
Markus queries 14M actual USPTO records. ChatGPT generates plausible-sounding answers from training data that may be wrong.
Updated daily, not frozen
USPTO filings from yesterday are searchable today. General LLMs have knowledge cutoffs months or years behind.
Sourced and verifiable
Every answer links back to real serial numbers, proceeding IDs, and owner records you can verify on USPTO.gov.

Frequently asked questions
Data handling in depth: Security & Data Protection
What data does Markus have access to?
Markus has real-time access to the full USPTO trademark database: 14M+ trademark records, 240M+ prosecution events, 650K+ TTAB proceedings, and 266K+ attorney profiles. Trademark, prosecution and TTAB records come directly from the USPTO and are refreshed daily. Markus can also run guardrailed web research with source citations — company background, news, common-law use, case law — when a question needs information from outside the register.
Is Markus included in all plans?
Markus is on every paid plan. Starter ($99/mo) includes 5 messages a month; Professional ($249/seat/mo) and Max ($599–$699/seat/mo) are unlimited. The Free plan does not include Markus, and an add-on is available for Free and Starter accounts.
Can Markus file trademarks?
No. Markus is a research and analysis tool, not a filing service. It helps you search, analyze, compare, and monitor trademarks — but actual filings should be done through the USPTO with the guidance of a trademark attorney.
What happens to the data I share with Markus?
It is not used to train AI models. GleanMark does not train or fine-tune models on your content, and its agreements with every AI provider prohibit them from training on it either. Chats you delete are permanently purged after a 24-hour undo window, and raw AI logs kept for troubleshooting are deleted after 90 days. Every AI vendor that processes customer data is listed publicly at gleanmark.com/subprocessors, and the full security overview is at gleanmark.com/security.
