We are excited to announce our new, machine-learning-driven image clearance tool. Just log in and go here to try it — we’d love to hear from you about your experiences. As with all of TM TKO’s tools, access is included in any subscription or day pass.

The new system is simple. Just drop in an image; you’ll be able to crop it if needed. If you want to add US and/or Vienna design codes (particularly helpful if you have a “busy” image with a lot of visual elements, but you are most interested in one feature in particular), you can do so. Hit search, and you’ll be off.

We replicated a search for a recent application for an acorn logo for insurance services here, so you can see it in action. The first two results are the filed-for mark and a co-pending application with the same owner. So far, so good. Another acorn design that was cited by the Examiner was the #4 result, with another, similar acorn in between.

As with TM TKO’s other clearance tools, your search report includes helpful visualizations of mark and goods similarity, helping you quickly triage risks and get an answer to your client both quickly and accurately.

If you choose to include common-law results, you will get an additional section of image results sourced from Bing.

We have been working on this for quite a while, and are very happy to have this out in the world for you to use! Watches and portfolio-driven watches will be available soon.

Happy searching!
