"Trademark Risk Score Diagnosis" Now Free on AI Trademark Search Support "Trademark Navi" - Instantly Scores Risk from 0-100 by Simply Entering Trademark Name

Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) has newly released the Trademark Risk Score Diagnosis (https://shohyo.xyz/tools/trademark-risk-score) on its AI trademark search and application support service "Trademark Navi" (https://shohyo.xyz).

Insufficient "Risk Assessment" Before Trademark Application

According to the Japan Patent Office's "Annual Report on Patent Administration," the number of trademark applications reached approximately 180,000 in Reiwa 4 (2022). However, a certain number of filed trademarks receive refusal decisions, mostly due to similarity to existing trademarks or being generic terms.

Trademark applications incur application fees and attorney fees, so refusal results in wasted costs and time. While it is important to assess trademark risk before application, similar searches on the Japan Platform for Patent Information (J-PlatPat) require specialized knowledge, making it difficult for businesses to make accurate judgments on their own.

Three Features of "Trademark Risk Score Diagnosis"

• Simply enter trademark name and industry: Instantly displays a risk score from 0 to 100 by simply entering the trademark name under consideration and the planned industry (classification)

• Multi-faceted judgment based on 4 factors: Calculates a comprehensive score from four perspectives: brevity of characters (weak distinctiveness), composition of character types (hiragana/katakana/English, etc.), competitiveness within the industry, and generic name risk

• Includes explanations for each risk factor: Displays not only the comprehensive score but also which factors increase the risk individually. Can be used to review trademark names before application

How to Use

1. Access Trademark Risk Score Diagnosis (https://shohyo.xyz/tools/trademark-risk-score)

2. Enter the trademark name under consideration and the planned industry

3. Check the risk score (0-100) and the judgment results for each of the 4 factors

Future Development

Trademark Navi will continue to develop tools to support application preparation, such as automatic search functions for similar trademarks and guide functions for classification selection, to enable businesses to conduct sufficient risk assessment before filing trademarks.
