Howard Katzenberg, Founder & CEO
Howard Katzenberg spent 11 years as a CFO — including at OnDeck — before founding the fintech company Glean. A trademark conflict over that brand name showed him the state of the tools firsthand: a USPTO website stuck in another decade and enterprise tools priced at $10,000–$20,000 a year, built for the largest firms. He founded GleanMark to put the entire USPTO record behind everyday trademark work — for the attorneys and firms who actually do it.

What customers say
“I use GleanMark across clearance, office action responses, and general research. What sets it apart from the other trademark tools is the depth of the record underneath GleanMark. On clearance, it surfaces the conflicting marks thoroughly and gives me enough on each one to make my own call and sign off with confidence, instead of relying on a black-box ranking. On office action responses, it brings not just the arguments but the actual evidence behind them. And for day-to-day research, I can get a straight answer on any owner, any proceeding, or any single mark in seconds.”
“We handle trademarks for several thousand clients, and at that volume staying organized used to be most of the job. GleanMark keeps the whole portfolio straight and tells our clients automatically when something moves on their file. Clearance and day-to-day research now live in one place instead of across multiple vendors, and GleanMark's prosecution summaries and overall visual experience are exceptionally useful. We run a more organized practice, our clients hear from us before they think to ask, and everything is included in one monthly fee.”
“Anyone who does trademark work has uspto.gov open in a tab all day — jumping between TSDR and the search page, never quite seeing the whole picture in one place. GleanMark puts it all in one place, organized the way you'd actually work a file. That was clear from the first session.”
“When we first get an office action, I can plug it right in and see what the drafting comes up with. Does it make sense? Do we have a strong argument? Sometimes it's like, wow, okay, we have a better argument than I thought.”
