Even at the designing phase, the designers want to know if there’re similar visual/textural elements already there. The brand owners and the attorney would also want to do the due diligence.</p> <p id="f9c4" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">With the existing tools, i.e. USPTO search and others, creators must manually parse through loads of information across the web. This is very time-intensive and requires precision. They cannot know for certain if perhaps something slipped through–if they really checked the far reaches of the internet. A certain amount of guesswork is always involved, and what’s worse is when the trademark office approves these applications.</p> <p id="dd84" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">This is where Huski.ai comes in.

A brand differentiates one business, service, or product from another; it represents the prized innovation that starts any venture. It also conveys core values, builds trust, and provides personal connections between a business and its consumers.</p> <p class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw"> </p> <p id="8fd8" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">As the wealth of data and demand for specialization increase, more long-tailed brand owners emerge. In other words, brand owners can gain significant traction by producing smaller amounts of a unique, well-crafted product or service. Consumer behaviors are shifting away from buying generic products that merely suffice. Instead, consumers wish to buy branded products that fit their ultra-personalized needs. A decade ago, a brand owner may only mean a Fortune 500 company like Apple or Nike. Today, a brand owner could be a social media influencer or an indie artist working from home. Tomorrow, you and I could have personal brands in the Metaverse. We could exchange innovations with cryptocurrencies and certify them with NFTs. The bar to become a brand owner is more achievable than it has ever been–and soon enough, the opportunity will be accessible to anyone.</p> <p class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw"> </p> <p>Sounds fantastic, right? There’s only one catch: creating and maintaining a brand is not hassle-free. There have always been and will always be infringers on your creativity and innovations. Somewhere, someone may be working on things very similar to yours, knowingly or unknowingly, and maybe branding them in the same way.</p> <p> </p> <p>So, brand owners always want to be aware of two things:</p> <ul> <li>Am I infringing on others’ brands?</li> <li>Are others infringing on my brand?</li> </ul> <p>Answering these two questions is gruelingly hard. First, one must have the skillsets or tools to gather such information in the vast information space crossing commerce, marketing, branding, and litigation. It also requires deep knowledge across different domains, such as market space insights, products, intellectual properties, litigation practice, and so on, to understand the problem and find possible remediation solutions. These challenges make it difficult, if not impossible, for emerging brand owners to even think about affordable brand protection solutions. These obstacles lead to unequal opportunities for smaller brand owners to grow their brands and focus on innovation.</p> <p> </p> <p>There needs to be an affordable solution to answer those two questions in order to help brand owners protect their brands and give them peace of mind to focus on innovation and enjoy the benefits of their creations.</p> <p class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw"> </p> <p id="e6c8" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">This is why Huski exists.</p> <p class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw"> </p> <h2 id="fc4a" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw"><strong><span class="wysiwyg-font-size-large">The HOW</span></strong></h2> <p><strong>Our mission is to build the industry’s first and the best brand and insight search engine</strong>.</p> <p>The goal is simple.

<p>Hey, Dear Huski Users</p> <p>We are excited to release the following upgrades in our trademark search tool!</p> <p>1. Improved core image search engine upgrades to break down each image search into more detailed analyses for your professional review. The analyses are</p> <ul> <li><strong>Whole Image Analysis</strong> - Huski image engine will treat the entire trademark as one trademark and look for similar marks within more than one million image trademarks.</li> <li><strong>Image-to-text Analysis</strong> - We will detect any texts presented in the image and conduct exact and smart (we will soon have another topic to discuss smart text search strategies) text match accordingly.</li> <li><strong>Key Feature Analysis</strong> - Our engine will detect key regions in the image and treat these regions as respective trademarks and conduct one or multiple image searches in parallel. (You will always have the option to select a key region while uploading your image to perform an image search to the selected key region)</li> </ul> <p class="wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img src="/hc/article_attachments/5163745100185/mceclip0.png" alt="mceclip0.png" width="588" height="216"></p> <p class="wysiwyg-text-align-center"> </p> <p>2.
