Platform Market: USPTO Adds AI Image Search to TM Search
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has launched an AI-assisted image search capability within its public trademark search system, TM Search, built with technology delivered by Clarivate Plc. The feature lets users upload images and compare them against the U.S. trademark register to surface visually similar marks that classification-code searches may miss. Clarivate says the functionality uses advanced image recognition and AI trained on trusted IP data and that related image-search capabilities are available across its solutions for law firms and corporate IP teams. The announcement was distributed via PR Newswire and published by MarTech Series on July 16, 2026.
