A family-built company focused on helping small businesses protect their brands.
TmFlare was created to make trademark and domain monitoring simple and affordable. It is built by Marquesa Search Systems Ltd, a small UK software company with more than thirty years of experience in intellectual property technology.
My name is Oliver Durant. I have worked in trademark and intellectual property software since 2010. The company behind TmFlare is Marquesa Search Systems Ltd, which was founded by my father in 1989. For many years we have created specialist tools that help law firms and brand owners perform trademark searches and research.
Working in this field for so long has shown me how easily small businesses can miss important changes involving their brand. Many assume someone is watching their trademarks or domains, but in reality they often have no monitoring in place at all.
I kept seeing the same problem. A small business creates a brand, begins to grow, and then someone else registers a similar trademark or domain. The business only discovers it after the fact, when the damage has already started.
Larger companies usually have legal teams watching these things. Small companies do not. I wanted to build something simple and affordable that could help them stay aware of what happens around their brand.
TmFlare is the result. It watches trademarks, domains, and web content for signs of misuse and sends alerts when something needs attention. It runs quietly in the background so founders do not have to check everything manually.
A simple tool created with real experience in trademark software.
Our goal is to make brand protection something every business can access. Good tools should not be reserved for large companies. Every brand should have the chance to stay safe.
The principles that guide every decision we make.
TmFlare is growing, and we are working on deeper ways to help you stay aware of what happens around your brand. Future updates will include:
