Frequently asked questions
What the platform does, how the clearance and deadline engines work, and where the software boundary sits.
Where does the trademark data come from?
Search runs against real United States Patent and Trademark Office records ingested from USPTO's public data services, plus live status and case documents pulled from USPTO's document system for the marks on your docket. It is public federal data, not a curated sample.
What is a Conflict Score?
Every search hit is scored factor by factor: how similar the marks are (including phonetic and dominant-word similarity), how much the goods and services overlap, how related the classes are, and how strong the cited registration is. The score summarizes those factors so you can triage a result list quickly — it is not a legal opinion on likelihood of confusion.
What is the difference between Quick, Comprehensive and Attorney search modes?
Quick surfaces the closest exact and near-identical hits for a fast read. Comprehensive widens the net across phonetic and fuzzy variants and related classes. Attorney mode is the broadest sweep, built for a defensible clearance file, and returns weaker and more distant matches for you to rule out deliberately.
Can I exclude other companies' registrations from a clearance report?
Yes. The report has registration-status filters and an owner filter that can either narrow to an owner or exclude one, with owner suggestions drawn from the current result set.
Does the platform file my application with the USPTO?
No. The five-step wizard assembles the complete filing package — applicant details, Nice classes, goods and services wording, specimens and fee calculation — and then gives you step-by-step instructions for submitting it through the USPTO's own TEAS portal. You stay in control of the actual submission.
How are deadlines calculated?
From the dates in your record. Enter a filing date, notice of allowance or office action date and the platform derives the statutory consequences: three months to respond to an office action, six months to file a statement of use, the fifth-to-sixth-year Section 8 window, Section 15 eligibility and ten-year Section 9 renewals, including applicable grace periods. Change a date and the docket recalculates.
Are the deadlines legally authoritative?
No. They are calculated estimates to keep you ahead of the docket. Always confirm dates against the official USPTO record — you remain responsible for meeting statutory deadlines.
How does office action analysis work?
The platform reads the refusal, identifies each ground raised, suggests a response strategy per ground and assembles a draft response with your exhibits attached. You review and edit everything before it goes anywhere.
What does watchlist monitoring do?
You track competitor applications and get in-app alerts when a watched application changes status or when its risk assessment moves after a new clearance run. Docketed marks are also checked against USPTO's status service, which populates the timeline and pulls new case documents.
Can I export or share a clearance report?
Yes. Any completed screening exports as a branded PDF in one click, including the conflict list, risk levels and the factor-by-factor score breakdown. You can also have a private download link emailed to your account address; the link expires after seven days and the report itself is stored privately.
Can my clients log in and see only their own marks?
Yes. A client requests access to your workspace, an owner or admin approves the request, and you assign specific marks to that client. The client portal shows only the assigned marks — nothing else in your portfolio is visible to them.
How does pricing work?
There are four plans — Free, Pro, Business and Enterprise. Searching, filing packages and docket capacity scale with the plan, and quotas are enforced on the server. Paid plans are billed through Stripe with tax calculated automatically; you can manage or cancel your subscription from the billing page at any time.
What can the AI assistant see?
Only your own workspace: your marks, deadlines, documents and filings, subject to your role. It answers plain-language questions grounded in that record. It cannot see another organization's data.
Who in my organization can see and change what?
Roles are owner, admin, member and viewer. Owners and admins can manage the team and delete marks; members can edit portfolio data; viewers are read-only. Organizations are isolated at the database level.
Is Qevatrix Trademark OS a law firm?
No. It is software. It does not provide legal advice or representation, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. For advice on your specific situation, consult a licensed trademark attorney. Registration outcomes are determined solely by the USPTO.
