(16 Jul 2026) Clarivate Plc is proud to support the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in launching an AI assisted image search within its public trademark search system, TM Search. This new capability allows users to upload and compare images against the U.S. trademark register and has been selected and awarded a contract by the USPTO.
Using AI‑assisted image search technology delivered by Clarivate, the updated USPTO search enables applicants, practitioners, and registrants to upload an image and compare it against the U.S. trademark register to help identify existing similar marks.
The new functionality applies advanced image recognition and artificial intelligence to support faster and more intuitive exploration of trademark image data. By surfacing visually similar marks that can be difficult to identify through classification‑code‑based searching alone, the technology improves both search efficiency and result quality.
