Ai Trademark Conflict Analyzer

An Apify Actor that checks if a proposed trademark conflicts with existing registered marks using multiple similarity algorithms.

Features

• Multi-algorithm similarity analysis: Phonetic (metaphone/soundex), visual, fuzzy (Levenshtein), word overlap, and containment matching
• Risk scoring: 0-100 score with 4 risk levels (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL)
• USPTO trademark database: Searches against real trademark data
• Smart recommendations: Provides detailed recommendations and alternative name suggestions

Input

Field	Type	Description	Default
proposedMark	string	The trademark/brand name to analyze	Required
goodsServices	string	Description of goods/services	""
searchDepth	string	Search depth: quick/standard/comprehensive	"standard"
includeDeadMarks	boolean	Include dead/abandoned marks	false
maxResults	integer	Maximum similar marks to return	20

Output

The actor outputs a comprehensive trademark analysis report including:

• Risk Assessment: Overall risk level and score (0-100)
• Similar Marks: List of potentially conflicting trademarks with similarity breakdowns
• Recommendations: Primary recommendation and detailed action items
• Alternative Names: Suggested safer alternatives

Example Input

{
  "proposedMark": "TechFlow",
  "goodsServices": "Software, mobile applications",
  "searchDepth": "standard",
  "includeDeadMarks": false,
  "maxResults": 20
}

Example Output

{
  "proposedMark": "TechFlow",
  "conflictRisk": "HIGH",
  "riskScore": 75,
  "totalConflicts": 5,
  "similarMarks": [...],
  "recommendation": "WARNING - TechFlow faces significant conflicts...",
  "saferAlternatives": ["Nova TechFlow", "TechFlow Pro", ...]
}

Similarity Algorithms

1. Exact Match: Direct string comparison
2. Phonetic: Metaphone and Soundex algorithms for sound-alike detection
3. Visual: Character-level visual similarity
4. Fuzzy: Levenshtein distance for typo tolerance
5. Contains: Substring detection
6. Word Overlap: Common word analysis
