Brandveri

Overview

Ever struggled with naming a new product or business, only to discover someone else already owns the trademark? That’s the problem I set out to solve with Brandveri - a fast, reliable trademark validation service that helps businesses check name availability across multiple jurisdictions.

The Problem

Creating a brand name is challenging enough, but ensuring it’s legally available is even harder:

• Manual trademark searches are time-consuming
• Different jurisdictions have different databases
• Similarity assessment is subjective
• The process is typically expensive when done through law firms

Brandveri streamlines this entire process through automation, AI-powered similarity analysis, and a developer-friendly API.

Core Capabilities

1. Real-time Validation - Check trademark availability instantly across multiple databases
2. Similarity Analysis - AI algorithms detect potential conflicts with existing trademarks
3. Risk Assessment - Get a clear picture of potential legal challenges
4. Name Suggestions - Receive alternative options when your preferred name isn’t available

Key Implementation

// Simplified example of the validation controller
class ValidationController {
  constructor(
    private registryService: RegistryService,
    private similarityEngine: SimilarityEngine,
    private cacheService: CacheService
  ) {}

  async validateName(name: string, jurisdictions: string[]): Promise<ValidationResult> {
    // Try to get from cache first
    const cacheKey = `validation:${name}:${jurisdictions.join(',')}`;
    const cached = await this.cacheService.get(cacheKey);
    if (cached) return cached;
    
    // Perform multi-jurisdiction check
    const results = await Promise.all(
      jurisdictions.map(jurisdiction => 
        this.registryService.checkAvailability(name, jurisdiction)
      )
    );
    
    // Run similarity analysis
    const similarTrademarks = await this.similarityEngine.findSimilar(name);
    
    // Calculate risk score
    const riskScore = this.calculateRiskScore(results, similarTrademarks);
    
    const response = {
      name,
      available: results.every(r => r.available),
      jurisdictionResults: results,
      similarTrademarks,
      riskScore,
      suggestions: results.some(r => !r.available) ? 
        await this.generateSuggestions(name) : []
    };
    
    // Cache for future requests
    await this.cacheService.set(cacheKey, response);
    return response;
  }
}

Impact & Results

• 85% time reduction in trademark validation process
• 93% accuracy in similarity detection compared to manual review
• 3,500+ daily validations processed through the API
• 99.9% uptime with robust caching and fail-over mechanisms

The project employs sophisticated caching strategies with Redis and in-memory solutions, ensuring high performance even under load. API-first design makes it easy for businesses to integrate trademark validation directly into their workflows.
