Full Comparison
| Criterion | Corsearch | WIPO Global Brand Database |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Not stated | Free WIPO's terms of use describe the database as a free-of-charge public service. A WIPO account is also free and adds saved searches and record sets. |
| API | Not stated | The terms of use forbid automated queries, scraping and bulk downloading; the Madrid collection is available on request for a fee |
| Languages | Not stated | Information pages in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish |
| Hosting | Not stated | Web app at branddb.wipo.int |
| Registers and countries covered | The vendor cites 190 searchable trademark registries and 240 jurisdictions and territories watched for new marks, within more than 1,000 trademark, company name, domain, design, pharma and common law databases | International trademarks under the Madrid System, appellations of origin and geographical indications under the Lisbon System, emblems under Article 6ter, WHO international nonproprietary names, and trademarks from participating national and regional offices, with a coverage list on the database site. The Madrid collection is updated daily, EUIPO data is retrieved daily, and other national collections update as often as each office sends its data; Peru and Paraguay were added in 2026. |
| Word, phonetic and image search | Similarity search across phonetic, semantic and visual similarity in ExaMatch and NameCheck, logo and device search through LogoCheck image recognition, and an AI query assist that turns plain language into a search query | Search by keywords, names, numbers, goods and services and image similarity, or a combination of them. Logo search takes an uploaded JPG, PNG or WebP image with a choice of search strategy, and the separate Vienna Classification Assistant suggests Vienna codes for figurative elements. |
| Goods, services and Nice classes | Clearance searches take goods and services, classes and jurisdictions as their criteria, and an AI Product Insights feature categorises products for filings | Search by goods and services, plus the separate Global G&S Terms Explorer, which helps choose goods and services terms and their Nice classification in different languages |
| Clearance and conflict screening | Screening of candidate names and clearance of registered and unregistered marks, with regional or worldwide searches combining register and common law sources into one report and Corsearch analysts reviewing and filtering the results | Results are a search, not a screening: the terms of use state that a result does not imply any legal opinion on likelihood of confusion, the FAQ states that WIPO is not mandated to conduct searches for third parties, and WIPO suggests also searching national and regional registers and consulting a trademark attorney |
| Watch and alerts | Automated Watch and analyst-reviewed Expert Watch across word and design marks in 240 jurisdictions and territories, LogoWatch for logos, a user-set similarity threshold and AI prioritisation of watch results | Saved searches and record sets with a free WIPO account; the FAQ states that a saved search shows new matching records when you log in again |
| Reports and exports | Dashboards and interactive analytics in TrademarkNow, and one report for a regional or worldwide clearance search | Reports built from selected records, up to 180 records per report, which is also the download limit; results display as a list, grid or gallery |
| Integrations and API | Not stated | The terms of use forbid automated queries, web scraping and bulk downloading, and the FAQ states the database is not for sale. WIPO offers the full collection of Madrid System international marks on request and for a fee. |
| AI features | stated Yes | No |
| Deployment | Cloud (SaaS) | Browser-based |
| Onboarding | Not stated | Documentation and knowledge base, Live online demos and webinars |

How we check reviews
Before sending, the author has to confirm three things: that they have used the product themselves, that they work neither for the vendor nor for a competitor, and that nobody is paying them for the review. We also ask whether the vendor invited them to write it. That answer is required, either answer is accepted, and it stays with the review.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. An email address is required and is confirmed: we send a link to it, and a review does not reach us until the author opens that link, so a review has a sender who was reachable at least once rather than being anonymous. Where what somebody writes needs backing, we ask them for evidence that they used the product, and a review that does not get it is not published. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on their own declaration, on whatever we ask them for, and on the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot buy a review, and cannot have one removed or changed because they dislike it. We remove or edit a review only if it breaks our rules or the law, for example a false statement of fact. Paid placement has no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
