Marksy — Trademark search, research and flat-fee services

Making the trademark system legible

The public trademark record is enormous, authoritative, and nearly impossible for a normal person to search. Marksy is the tool we wished existed — paired with flat-fee services delivered by independent attorneys.

Marksy is not a law firm and is not a substitute for an attorney or law firm. Marksy is an automated online service and an advertising business. Marksy does not provide legal advice, does not practice law, and no attorney–client relationship is formed with Marksy. Where attorney services are involved, they are provided by independent, licensed attorneys who are solely responsible for the legal services they render.

Why we started

Thirteen million U.S. trademarks sit in public databases that are slow, fragmented, and written for examiners — not founders. Clearing a name meant either paying for an expensive search or guessing. Marksy began by indexing the USPTO's public bulk data into one fast, searchable platform, then making the next steps — registering, watching, and defending a mark — just as clear.

What we do

We index the USPTO's applications and registrations, assignment records, and TTAB proceedings into a continuously refreshed search engine, and pair that data with plain-English guides, organized intake workflows, and flat-fee legal services performed by independent licensed attorneys whom we advertise for and connect you with.

Our principles

Flat, posted prices instead of hourly surprises. Government fees passed through at cost and labeled as such. Public data kept public and searchable. And plain English everywhere — the trademark system is complicated enough without us adding to it.
