- micks56 17y agoThat's what I gather, too. Looks like an added service is that they will notify you when similar marks to yours are filed. (found here: http://www.trademarkia.com/press-release.aspx http://www.trademarkia.com/press-release.aspx) I am interested in seeing how (if?) they implement that. A mark is more than words; It is also the colors and shapes that comprise the mark. I wonder how they will determine whether a mark is similar when someone picks a logo that looks like yours. It doesn't seem like their claim of "Search all U.S. trademarks filed since 1870..." is correct. Trademarkia doesn't have the mark that I filed in August, but it is on the USPTO website.
- rabhyanker 17y agoHello, you are correct. We havent indexed 2009 USPTO data yet on Trademarkia. Will be indexed in about 1 month, we are in the process of doing this now. Once 2009 data is indexed, we'll be updating the site daily. I wrote a detailed post below. Raj
- rabhyanker 17y agoHello, we are not scraping the USPTO site. We have actually obtained the data legally under the Freedom of Information Act. I wrote a more detailed post below. Kind regards, Raj Abhyanker CEO of Trademarkia
