Hello, Thank you for starting this thread on Trademarkia! I am Raj Abhyanker, and the CEO of Trademarkia (www.trademarkia.com), a 2 person startup here in Palo Alto, CA. We just launched this Monday September 14, 2009 the TechCrunch50 Demo Pit. We have only indexed USPTO trademark data from 1870 till December 31, 2008. We have not yet indexed the 2009 data, and that is why the mark recently filed in August 2009 is not showing up. The 2009 data will be indexed, and the site will be refreshed daily in about 1 month. You are correct, our revenue model will be in the filing services for new marks (state, federal and international), and the re-filing of expired and abandoned trademarks by new owners. Because we automate and simplify the process, we are able to offer a lower cost, highly reliable method for these services. In addition, we will provide infringement monitoring against new trademark filings. With regards to logo marks, we have developed a unique search engine for things inside of logos based on never before indexed legacy USPTO classification codes. For example, you can see inside logos here: http://www.trademarkia.com/trademark-logo-design http://www.trademarkia.com/trademark-logo-design After we are funded, we plan to indexing all 50 state U.S. trademark filings, as well as those in as many international countries as possible. We are currently looking for partners (domain name registrars, logo design companies, etc.) that might want to create interesting and cool APIs between our site and theirs. If you have any further questions regarding Trademarkia (or want to help), please feel free to call me at 650-965-8731 or email me at raj@trademarkia.com Thank you once again for starting this thread. YCombinator is a great resource. Respectfully yours, Raj Raj Abhyanker CEO & IP Attorney Trademarkia.com
