TrademarkNow provides an intelligent, web-based, trademark management platform that is used by in-house legal teams, law firms and branding agencies around the globe for instant trademark search and watch results. At its core is a unique artificial intelligence based on both explicit and intricate domain models of trademark law.
Founded by an international trademark attorney who felt the pain first hand of managing trademarks using the old manual methods and archaic technology, TrademarkNow addresses a pervasive need in the market related to trademark clearing and protection. Mikael Kolehmainen, TrademarkNow Founder and CEO, started the company in 2012 and quickly assembled a stellar team including linguistics and artificial intelligence scholar Anna Ronkainen, TrademarkNow’s chief scientist. The vision was to build a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform to automate the manual tasks involved in trademark searching and watching, while adding a layer of intelligent analysis to the results.
The company’s first commercial product, NameCheck™, a solution for instant comprehensive trademark searching, was launched in 2013. Its second product, NameWatch™, for trademark monitoring and protecting, followed in October 2014. Since that time, TrademarkNow has experienced rapid growth and has signed many prominent clients including Rovio, Carlsberg Group, Kohl’s, Nokia, and others. In response to client growth and market reception to TrademarkNow’s technology, TrademarkNow has expanded globally with offices in New York City and Kilkenny, Ireland.
“When I initially envisioned TrademarkNow, I knew that there was a definite market need that could be met if we could build the necessary technology to apply automation and artificial intelligence to trademark searching. We’ve worked hard to deliver on this vision since the company was founded. Our winning the Gold Stevie® Award for Company of the Year in the Legal category validates all of this effort and the value that our clients find in utilizing our platform to help with their vital trademark legal research. We are very honored to receive this esteemed award,” Kolehmainen said.
The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small – are eligible to submit nominations. The 2015 IBAs received entries from more than 60 nations and territories.

TrademarkNow won in the Company of the Year – Legal category.
Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 200 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from May through early August.
Judges’ comments and feedback about TrademarkNow included:
“This is a great innovation which will make life easier and save money.”
“Taking the mundane and time consuming into a necessary efficiency.”
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the awards will be presented to winners at a gala awards banquet at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Toronto, Canada on 23 October.
“The IBAs grow in stature and renown every year, and with that the number and quality of entries increases,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “This year’s judges were treated to more than 3,700 stories of success and achievement around the world. We thank the judges for their time and feedback, and we congratulate the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners whom we’ll celebrate in Toronto in October.”
