Feature highlight: Logo and Image Search

Hi! This is Howard Katzenberg, GleanMark's founder. In this video, we'll walk you through GleanMark's Logo and Image Search. It finds live USPTO marks that look like your client's logo, including designs with no words at all.

Here's a registered bison design owned by MBK Enterprises for podcasts. There are no words in the mark. An image search finds designs like it without first choosing a design code.

Open Lookup and find Search by Logo or Image under Specialized Searches. Upload the drawing, then select Find similar. You can also start with a brand name, a serial number, or a written description of the design.

GleanMark returns a ranked set of similar designs. Our example appears first, followed by marks from other owners: a freight broker, a drinkware company, a limousine service, and many more. Each card shows the owner, classes, and whether the mark is registered or pending.

Use class filters to focus your first review. Our example covers podcasts in class 41. Filtering to that class leaves a smaller group, including a ram for Cornell College and a buffalo for the Buffalo Bills. Open the goods and services to understand what each mark actually covers, and broaden the search when needed.

You can also narrow the results by the USPTO design codes assigned to those records. Selecting Bison keeps only the marks carrying that code.

Hover for a quick preview or open the full record. Compare the design and the goods and services to decide which results deserve closer attention. Visual similarity is a starting point for your assessment.

You now have a focused set of designs to review, with each record a click away. For broader research and a report for your client, Clearance runs this same visual search when you upload a logo.
