Marquesa provides a rich set of mechanisms for matching words by:

• Identical match to a mark
• Identical match to a word in a mark
• Pattern match to a mark (e.g. “her-“, “-power-“, “-ized”)
• Pattern match to a word in a mark
• Similarity of spelling and pronunciation to a mark
• Similarity of spelling and pronunciation to a word in a mark
• Anagram of a word in a mark

Marquesa processes word mark spelling to accommodate most of the strange formatting found in mark applications, for example ‘A+B&C’ −> ‘&’,’+’,’A’,’AB’,’ABC’,’B’,’BC’,’C’.

Marquesa also has the unique “word finder” tool, which allows you to find similar words in use without actually executing a search.

Device images in Marquesa are coded using the Vienna classification. You can search the classification list with our improved Vienna code finder tool, allowing you to easily find images matching any or all of a set of categories.

Marquesa’s automatic search design facility builds a simple set of searches appropriate for a pre-application clearance search for a simple wordmark. You enter the word mark, a list of primary and secondary classes, the system then suggests a number of searches in a four section report: (i) identical words in marks found in primary classes, (ii) identical words used in marks found in secondary classes, (iii) pattern matches to marks found in primary classes, and (iv) other similar marks found in primary classes. You can add, delete and change any of the suggestions. You can then execute the searches, view the found marks in each section keeping any relevant to your application, then print or report your results.

Most Patent and Trade Mark offices have their own web sites. This allows you to access to the most up-to-date information about any mark directly. To make comparison with the PTO site easy, and for checking trade mark data when you need additional verification, Marquesa allows you to view the web details for any mark from the respective PTO web site with just a mouse click on the Details window. You can even compare their web site data with ours.
