World’s Largest Trademark Filer Selects Markify as Trademark Search and Watch Provider

See the press release at:  

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171107005509/en/LegalZoom-Selects-Markify-Trademark-Search-Monitoring-Provider

Why should this interest you? Because of why LegalZoom selected us.

There were three main reasons LegalZoom selected Markify, a technology focused provider, and not another supplier: 1) quality, 2) effectiveness and 3) price.

1. Search result quality

LegalZoom processes around 30.000 trademark filings a year. That is probably more than any other company in the world.

At that scale you simply cannot afford to have a trademark search system that fails, that misses what you should have found. Because then you will be wrong so many times, that you will eventually not have a filing business.

LegalZoom tested us thoroughly during many months, in parallel with other providers’ systems, before they took the decision to go with Markify. That is a proof of quality, that I also think is relevant to all our clients.

2. Effective tools and automated processes

At the scale of 30.000 filings, and at that end user price, you need the fastest, most effective trademark search tools you can get.

If there is a trademark attorney or paralegal analyzing the results, they must have the tools to very fast be able to determine what is relevant and what is not, without missing any pertinent results.

When there is no human analysis done, you need the fully automated process.

You also need all other processes, like order, search, report creation and email communication, to be fully automated. With our wide range of trademark API’s you get that 100% automated process.

If you want to discuss how we can help you streamline your trademark search/watch process, just contact us for a discussion.

3. Aggressive pricing

At that scale, price is obviously a very important factor. Markify have always had the lowest prices in the trademark search industry and we will continue to deliver the best pricing.

If you ever think our pricing is not the best, that you can get something similar at a better price, please send us a note so we can correct that.

Benefit for all Markify clients

I believe all our clients will benefit from this deal since it brings scale to our business and will let us continue to add trademark databases and create more innovative trademark search and monitoring technology.

Any thoughts on this, please drop me an email at benoit@markify.com.

Markify adds Canada to its trademark searching and watching services

We have now added the Canadian trademark database (CIPO) to our searching and monitoring services. We have made some adjustments to our system to handle that Canada not yet fully use the Nice classification system.

The price for a Comprehensive Search, or a Full Availability Search, as some providers call it, is set at USD 81 (or 59 EUR). For that you get our best-in-class similarity search algorithm that finds 99% of all confusingly similar trademarks – and with less "noise”. It is actually the best trademark similarity search in the world (see search report here).

Do you want to try one Comprehensive Search Report for free? Send me an email and I will send you the promotion code (benoit at markify.com).

We also offer our Knockout Plus Search for  Canada for only USD 40. This is “broad” knockout, finding both identical, phonetically identical and other very similar results. Approx. 60% of all potential conflicts but with only 10% of the list length. This is the professional choice for any name screening project or for an application on a tight budget.

To order, you just sign up here: http://www.markify.com/services/comprehensive-search.html

You find the watching service here and the yearly price is only USD 34. Every week you get one report per client. And you get the same strong similirity algorithm so you will not miss any potential conflicts. Combine it with US watch if you need.

The world's first comprehensive trademark search API

Markify now releases the world's first comprehensive trademark search API. It's fast and free and it covers the US and the EU.

We have debated internally quite a bit about how much you can and should cannibalize on your own business. Not an easy discussion.

A lot of the big on-line companies have very restricted APIs. After reading this very good blog post about APIs, we decided to go the other way.

So what do you get from the Markify trademark search API?

  1. The world's most accurate trademark search, finding 99% of confusingly similar trademarks.
  2. Results in similarity order. No one else does this.
  3. Daily updated trademark data from the USPTO and from the large pan-European database OHIM/CTM
  4. Fast and free. Average response times are less than 0.9 seconds.

Who do we think should be interested?

  • Domain name registrars - Let your users do a fast trademark search to make sure they can use the domain name for their new business. We believe this will sell more domains to business oriented users. How? The level of trust and service will result in more buys than the occasional possible trademark conflict.
  • Law firms - Become more time and cost efficient towards your trademark search/clearance clients.
  • Legal and docketing software companies - You already have a great software and a client base. So now you can easily integrate the world's most accurate trademark search for USPTO and OHIM/CTM.
  • Developers - You have an idea of a mash-up or a new way to use the trademark search engine? We will love to hear about it.
