Four Key Reasons to Choose Questel for Pharmaceutical Trademark Search and Clearance Solutions
Superior data quality
Not only do we provide full pharmaceutical data coverage, but our servers are refreshed every day to include the most up-to-date official data.
The world’s best trademark algorithm
Our Markify Clearance & Watch Platform has been proven to find 99%+ confusingly similar trademarks with fewer irrelevant results.
Quick and easy to use
Results are ranked by relevance to save you and your team a lot of time, with built-in tools for filtering/sorting, color-coding, and commenting.
Customizable and collaborative
Add your own branding to quickly create sophisticated, custom-branded reports and share and work together on reports with internal and external stakeholders with our collaboration tools.
Pharmaceutical Trademark Search Driven by Superior Technology
Pharmaceutical organizations require top-quality trademark search reports to ensure they do not miss potential conflicts.
Our full pharmaceutical search solutions provide rapid access to comprehensive and relevance-ranked results at an unbeatable price tag by harnessing our sophisticated algorithms, machine learning, and deep learning to search and process data effectively.
We train our algorithms with a proprietary statistical method, drawing on more than one million official cases (oppositions and 2(d) citations in 25 languages) to deliver our superior trademark search results.
Our tools identify not only identical or confusingly similar pharma word marks but also phonetic similarity, orthographic similarity and misspellings, prefix, infix and suffix variations, vowel and consonant similarity, plurals and stemming, abbreviations and acronyms, translations, and more.

Fully Tailorable Solutions
Set up a subscription with Markify ProSearch™, order a one-off report with Markify Comprehensive Search tool, or select from our package options, which combine trademark and common-law search to enable you to search against pharma-related products and slogans in web, images, social media, social names, and App names:
- US Full Pharma Pack for searching pharma, trademark, and common law
- US Full Pack for searching trademarks and common law
- Global Common Law Pack to search common law worldwide

The Best ‘Signal-to-Noise' Ratio in the Business
Our comprehensive search algorithm has been proven to identify more than 99% of potential conflicts with on average 50% less ‘noise’ than other providers.
‘Signal-to-noise' is a scientific ratio used to assess efficacy by comparing the percentage of accurate and irrelevant results. In an independent Benchmark Report, the Markify Comprehensive Search algorithm was proven to find more than 99% potential conflicts with an average of 50% fewer results than comparable reports by other providers.
The Markify Trademark Search Tool Has… “The Best Algorithms Ever”
"As vital as it is to search trademark registries for potentially conflicting trademark registrations, searching for unregistered rights can be equally important. Leslie Meritt explains the importance of including common law trademark rights in your search strategy and how to access the databases directly from Questel’s clearance platforms, Markify Comprehensive Search and Markify ProSearch™.
