How we ranked

Each provider was scored on nine criteria from public evidence checked in Nov 2026. The build sorts by total score, breaks ties on API availability and then by name, and no editor sets the order.

How should you choose a trademark search API?

Check the data source, since the IP India Journal, the e-register and the WIPO Global Brand Database give different coverage and freshness.

  1. Check the data source, since the IP India Journal, the e-register and the WIPO Global Brand Database give different coverage and freshness.
  2. Decide whether you need similarity matching: phonetic and image search are offered by some providers (TMSearch.ai, MarkSimpl, MikeLegal) and are not described in every API spec.
  3. Compare the price unit: per call, per record, per credit or per plan (₹0.40 per call, ₹199 to ₹3,999 a month for watch, ₹39,400 to ₹89,400 a year for a management plan).
  4. Prefer providers that publish prices and let you sign up without a sales call if you want to test quickly.
  5. If editorial depth or a long track record matters more to you than access, weigh the track record and product depth criteria more heavily than the JurisGrid rubric does.
