Unique Prosecution Tools

TM TKO helps you get better outcomes.

ThorCheck finds similar marks registered by different companies for two different types of goods or services, providing quantitive evidence to push back on related-goods refusals. Inversely, you can also use ThorCheck to quickly pull evidence that two types of goods or services are related. For mark comparisons, ThorCheck can be used to find examples of mark co-existence or find similar or identical marks that differ only by the searched term, saving hours of manual research and letting you support your arguments with better evidence.

Related G/S identifies closely related goods using use-based registration data, helping you draft applications or steer clear of potential confusion risks.

TSDR export (as a stand-alone tool and integrated in our other tools) quickly generates PDFs of status and title copies from TSDR. Gathering evidence to support an Office Action Response or TTAB argument now takes only seconds.

TTAB Research

There is no better way to do Trademark Trial and Appeal Board research than by using TM TKO. Looking for proceedings relating to the term MONSTER? Easy. Want to find oppositions where one party sells tablecloths and the other sells teapots? Simple.

Focus by type of document, too – whether you are looking for a precedential final decision about functionality or a motion for sanctions relating to requests for admission, TM TKO’s pre-tagged issues and free-text searching makes it a breeze to find exactly what you need to get your high-stakes opposition work done and done well.
