Why do hundreds of attorneys and law firms use Creative Trademark Services again and again, instead of going directly to Clarivate/Thomson Reuters®?

Because they get the exact same federal and state data at a fraction of the price. Because every search strategy is created and reviewed by someone with 25+ years of experience. And because we actually answer the phone.

Can’t I just use AI for my trademark search?

We love AI. We love automation. We even use it as a tool to provide you additional information, check our work etc. But it’s important to remember AI can’t replace experience and nuanced intuition. Trademark research is as much of an art as a science. We NEVER automate your search with AI at Creative Trademark.

According to the USPTO’s 2024 Federal Register guidance on AI tools:

“incomplete or inaccurate outputs by AI, which, when not thoroughly verified by parties and practitioners, can result in critical misstatements and omissions.”

If you work with AI a lot, you already know they speak with confidence. Unfortunately AI is often confidently incorrect. They make things up, apologize when you catch them and other things you don’t want in a trademark research employee. Remember, one incorrect hallucination can cost your client everything.

Creative Trademark Services is one of the only companies in the United States that can guarantee your search strategy is created and reviewed by a human expert with at least 20 years of experience. Not software. Not a junior researcher. Not whoever was available that day.

Think of us as a trademark search paralegal on staff, one who has been doing this since 1997 and has seen everything.

When you order from a large vendor, do you know who actually did the work? Was it someone with twenty years of experience or someone with two weeks? You will never know.

With Creative Trademark Services, you already know.

We have been doing this long enough to catch things the big information companies miss. We once discovered that a major vendor’s image search technology was not performing as advertised; we caught it, they admitted it and we decided not to use that service any longer. That is the kind of integrity and attention we bring to every search.

We have also watched the major information companies change hands again and again: Thomson and Thomson, Thomson Reuters, Clarivate, with others mixed in along the way. Each acquisition brings new ownership and fewer people who actually understand the work. We are still here. Same people. Same standards. Since 1997.

Our prices are a fraction of what Clarivate/Thomson Reuters® charges. We use the exact same federal and state data via their subscription services, we just do not have their overhead, their shareholders, or their pricing. Outsourcing your trademark searches to us saves our clients thousands of dollars each year. And because every search strategy is personally created and reviewed by our search manager, you get 25+ years of expertise on every single order.

Do you need a favor late on a Friday night? Want to talk through search strategy before you order? Need help with the order form? We are there. The larger companies simply cannot match that.

Some of our best clients are small legal firms and solo practitioners who want to expand into IP work without building an in-house research operation. They depend on our patient, experienced staff to help them navigate the trademark clearance process, and to make them look great in front of their clients.

Big firm or solo practice, we are there to answer every question. Basic or advanced.

“Creative Trademark has been a godsend for our trademark practice. We work with many entrepreneurs and small business owners who are laser-focused on cost. Many are very concerned with price points, yet they still want the best service possible, at the best price. Creative Trademark helps us offer comprehensive trademark searches to our clients at a reasonable, very competitive price and gives our firm the ability to keep our costs low and service pricing steady. Our clients have been pleasantly surprised by the detail of their reports, making our firm look great in the eyes of the client. Even though we can run our own searches, we love and trust Creative Trademark and still use them instead because they save our legal practice so much valuable time and give me, as an attorney, the information I need to give clients an informed opinion based on the best data currently available.”

Not an attorney? We work with business owners and individuals too.  Free USPTO and Google searches are a great starting point we highly recommend, but not a finish line. Let us be your guide.
