Plan covered: TrademarkNow screening, search and watch modules named in the AI transparency policy, including NameCheck, LogoCheck, LogoWatch and Name Generator. Corsearch Brand Protection (Zeal 2.0), Content Protection and CVAN need separate review.

## Capabilities

- Legal research
- IP search and clearance

## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Deployment | SaaS |
| Hosting regions | European Union / EEA |
| Australian region | No |
| Model providers | OpenAI, Google Gemini, Amazon AI |
| Assurance | ISO/IEC 27001:2022 |
| Training on customer content | Yes |
| Retention | Data protection agreement clause 9.1: after expiry or termination Corsearch may retain Customer Personal Data for up to 30 days, after which, unless retention is required by data protection law, it will promptly delete it, excluding copies processed on behalf of another Corsearch customer. Clause 9.2: on at least 30 days' prior written notice Corsearch will return all existing copies. Schedule A states the retention period as the duration of the agreement, with platform retention periods under the agreement applying where available. No retention period is published for search queries, watch alerts or generated outputs. |
| Legal content coverage | The product page states screening across 190 global trade mark registries and identifies components for screening (ExaMatch, NameCheck), monitoring (Automated Watch, Expert Watch), figurative and design search (Industrial Design Search), corporate-name and ownership mapping (Company Name) and drug-name checks (Corsearch Pharma). The AI transparency policy lists public trade mark registry data, including applicant data, logo marks and goods and services descriptions, as a processing source. Register coverage is not itemised by jurisdiction on the pages read, and no Australian register is named. |
| Pricing | No price, tier or unit is published on the pages read. The user agreement applies to use of the site and services 'unless there is a separate contract in place between Corsearch or its related entities and the User', and the data protection agreement forms part of a Corsearch Master Services Agreement or other written agreement, so commercial terms sit in a separate negotiated agreement. For trade mark searches the user agreement limits any liability related to the content and preparation of a report to a refund of the fees paid. |
| Australian presence | Unknown. No Australian contracting entity, ACN or ABN, office or customer is published on the five pages read. The data protection agreement names the contracting party as 'Corsearch B.V. a private limited company registered in the Netherlands with KVK 54875625 of Naritaweg 116, 1043 CA Amsterdam, the Netherlands'. Its definition of Data Protection Laws lists the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, the CCPA as modified by the CPRA, and China's PIPL, and does not mention the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) or the Australian Privacy Principles; the cross-border clause is built around transfers out of the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland under standard contractual clauses. On the product page the word Australia appears only in a contact-form country list, which is not evidence of supply into Australia. |

## What the research found

| Topic | Status | Finding | Open question | Sources |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Product and modules covered | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy lists the TrademarkNow features by name and function: NameCheck (name risk scoring, a phonetic engine, normaliser, goods and services similarity and translation), LogoCheck, LogoWatch and Industrial Design (neural-network embeddings for visual similarity), Watch and Search (phonetic detection, goods and services summaries and translations, and Nice Class classification) and Name Generator (generative, on enterprise OpenAI models). The same document separates Brand Protection (Corsearch Zeal) and Content Protection features, which are not TrademarkNow. The product page adds ExaMatch, Automated Watch, Expert Watch, Company Name search and Corsearch Pharma. | Which TrademarkNow modules, including Name Generator and Expert Watch, are in our order form, and which can be disabled for our account? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow) |
| Deployment and hosting location | Public claim only | The service is a hosted platform reached through corsearch.com with platform logins; no on-premises or private-cloud option is published. The AI transparency policy states that 'Corsearch AI data and platform infrastructure are hosted securely in data centers located in Germany, Europe', checked 2026-09-27. No Australian, Asia-Pacific or United States region is offered on any page read. | Is any Australian or Asia-Pacific hosting region available for an Australian firm, and if not, does all processing of our queries occur in Germany? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy) |
| AI functions and their classification | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy classifies each TrademarkNow feature under the EU AI Act: NameCheck, LogoCheck, LogoWatch and Industrial Design are described as analytical AI systems using neural networks and mathematical embeddings, Watch and Search as an analytical or summarisation system using large language models and natural language processing for goods and services summaries and translations, and Name Generator as a generative AI system under Article 50(2) powered by enterprise OpenAI models. Outputs listed include similarity scores, dominance analysis, threat ranking, translated goods and services text, visual similarity embeddings, Nice Class suggestions and candidate trade mark names. The product page adds that neural-network models analyse phonetics, spelling, meaning and visuals. | For each module we license, what is the output, what does the score mean, and which features are generative rather than analytical? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow) |
| Jurisdiction, registers and translation | Public claim only | The product page states screening across 190 global trade mark registries; no register is itemised and no Australian register is named on the pages read. The AI transparency policy names public trade mark registry data as a training and processing source for the similarity and phonetic engines. The user agreement states Corsearch may supply an English translation of goods and services citations where an office or third party does not, identifies such text as translated, expressly disclaims the accuracy and comprehensiveness of any translation, may not translate all records, and places responsibility for verifying translations on the user. | Is the Australian trade mark register included and how current is it, and which goods and services text in an Australian search would be machine translated? | [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow); [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement) |
| Licence scope and reuse of output | Public claim only | The user agreement states that data retrieved from the service cannot be duplicated, reproduced, distributed or otherwise disseminated without express written permission or as provided under contract, and can never be resold or repackaged. Limited reproduction is allowed within the user's organisation, and for those in the practice of law as an authorised attorney or agent, to clients and other authorised attorneys where connected with the legal representation associated with the reproduced work, provided copyright notices are carried. Limited reproduction is not allowed where the recipient is in the trademark research business, is employed in the trademark field, or produces a competing product. Downloading substantial portions of the databases, and robotic or otherwise automated query generation and record retrieval, are expressly prohibited. | Confirm in writing that our reports may be given to the clients they were prepared for, and to their other advisers, under the limited-reproduction wording. | [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement) |
| Integrations and automation | Not confirmed | No integration, connector or API for TrademarkNow is published on the pages read, and the platform is reached through a login on the vendor's site. The user agreement prohibits robotic or otherwise automated modes of query generation and record retrieval on the site, which bears directly on whether a firm may drive the service from its own docketing or IP management system. | Is there a supported API or integration for docketing and IP management systems, and how does it sit with the prohibition on automated query generation? | [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow) |
| Support and contact routes | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy gives privacy@corsearch.com as the contact for AI and privacy questions and for exercising the rights it describes, and refers to support channels for reporting inaccurate, biased or improper AI-generated content. No support hours, response times, availability commitment or Australian-hours arrangement is published on any page read. The product page describes Expert Watch as combining AI-driven monitoring with expert review workflows. | What support hours and response times apply for an Australian firm, and who staffs Expert Watch review? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow) |
| Published quality evidence | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy states that AI models may occasionally generate incomplete, imprecise or non-deterministic results and that 'Corsearch conducts regular quality assurance using proprietary benchmarks (measuring precision, recall, and stability) to minimise error margins'; no benchmark figures, method or report are published. The product page asserts reductions in clearance timelines and review time of up to 40 per cent and 50 to 70 per cent with no method or study published, and those figures are recorded here as unsupported vendor assertions rather than as measurements. | Provide the precision, recall and stability results for the modules we would license, including the query set and how ground truth was established. | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow) |
| Task fit and stated limits | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy states outputs from features including NameCheck, Name Generator and risk scoring 'are provided for analytical, screening, and administrative guidance only. They do not constitute formal legal clearance, guarantee trademark registrability, or serve as binding legal advice', and that candidate names from the Name Generator are non-exclusive and probabilistic, with similar suggestions possible for other users on similar prompts and full clearance diligence left to the customer. The user agreement adds that trade mark searches and reports are 'highly subjective', that the user is solely responsible for review and interpretation and for deciding whether further legal research is needed, and that a report should be used only as material for determining availability of the mark. | For a clearance opinion in Australia, what work must we add to a NameCheck output, and what do you accept the product does not cover? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement) |
| Vendor content directing how AI describes the product | Not confirmed | A deliberate check for vendor content directing how AI models, assistants or crawlers should describe the product found none, checked 2026-09-27. The site map and the five pages read surfaced no /llms.txt, /ai-info or equivalent, and the document at /legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy is a notice about the vendor's own use of AI rather than instructions to AI systems about how to describe the vendor. | Does Corsearch publish any page or embedded instruction addressed to AI models or crawlers about how to describe TrademarkNow? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow) |
| Client authority and professional responsibility | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy states that in Trademark Solutions 'responsibility for legal evaluation rests with the Customer (including legal counsel and law firms advising their clients). Liability for final legal advice or consequential decisions remain strictly with the customer', and that the final decision to act on an AI output rests entirely with the user. The user agreement states that information retrieved is not to be construed as a legal opinion on whether a mark may be used or registered, and that 'Corsearch is not a law firm and does not issue legal opinion(s)'. The data protection agreement makes the customer the controller and requires it not to disclose sensitive personal data to Corsearch. | What client consent or engagement wording do you expect where our clients' brand candidates and naming criteria are entered into your platform? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement); [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement) |
| Model providers and inference | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy states Corsearch uses 'secure commercial enterprise instances from third-party providers, including OpenAI, Google Gemini and Amazon AI' and maintains enterprise data processing agreements with them 'to ensure that inputs, prompts and queries are never used to train public or third-party underlying models'. For TrademarkNow specifically, Name Generator is described as powered by enterprise OpenAI models, while NameCheck, LogoCheck, LogoWatch and Industrial Design are described as the vendor's own neural-network and narrow-AI engines. Corsearch states it acts as an AI provider where it builds, trains or fine-tunes proprietary models and as an AI deployer where it integrates third-party models, depending on the feature. The list is stated as non-exhaustive ('including') and no model version or inference region is given for the third-party providers. | For each TrademarkNow module, name the model and provider, the region the endpoint runs in, and the enterprise agreement relied on. | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy) |
| Subprocessors | Public claim only | Data protection agreement clause 7 gives Corsearch a general written authorisation to engage subprocessors, points to a current list at corsearch.com/privacy/subprocessors, imposes obligations on subprocessors no less protective than the DPA, keeps Corsearch liable for them, and requires at least 30 days' written notice of additions or replacements, with a subscription mechanism for updates. Clause 7.5 allows objection where a subprocessor objectively causes or is likely to cause a risk to security or to the customer's compliance, and clause 7.6 gives each party a right to terminate the affected services if an objection raised within 10 days cannot be resolved. The subprocessor list itself was not fetched within the operation budget for this profile, so its contents are unverified. | Provide the current dated subprocessor list for TrademarkNow, including the AI infrastructure providers and the hosting operator, with each one's country and function. | [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement); [Corsearch Privacy document index (DPA, SCCs, subprocessors, technical and organisational measures, privacy policy)](https://corsearch.com/privacy) |
| Training on customer content | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy states that public marketplace and web data and public trade mark registry data are used to train the vendor's classification, similarity and phonetic models, and that for 'Customer Inputs & Moderation Guides' (customer-provided logos, brand keywords, relevance prompts, search criteria and moderation guides) 'Customer inputs are used for limited, targeted model refinement' with content and guidelines from one customer never used to generate content for another. Two carve-outs are stated as no training: information entered into Name Generator 'is never used to train generative AI models', and user personal data is not used to train any model. The document does not say whether a TrademarkNow search query or seed mark counts as a customer input available for that limited model refinement. | Are our TrademarkNow search queries, seed marks and uploaded logos used for model refinement, and will you contract to exclude them? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy) |
| Feedback and quality monitoring | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy gives users a right to report inaccurate, biased or improper AI-generated content through support channels, and states that Corsearch conducts regular quality assurance using proprietary benchmarks measuring precision, recall and stability. It does not say whether reported corrections feed back into model refinement. The data protection agreement treats user data (login credentials, user names and account telemetry) as data Corsearch processes as an independent controller for its own purposes, including providing and securing the services. | Where do our reported corrections go, and are they used to refine models that serve other customers? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement) |
| Retention | Public claim only | Data protection agreement Schedule A gives the retention period for Customer Personal Data as the duration of the agreement, with Corsearch platform retention periods under the agreement applying where available, and clause 9.1 permits retention for up to 30 days after expiry or termination. Schedule A describes the categories of data subjects as sellers and advertisers of potential counterfeits and potential infringers of the customer's intellectual property rights, which is brand-protection framing rather than trade mark search framing, and no separate schedule for TrademarkNow was found. No published retention period covers search queries, watch alerts, generated names or reports. | State the retention period that applies to TrademarkNow search queries, watch alerts, generated candidate names and delivered reports, and whether Schedule A is replaced for trade mark services. | [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement) |
| Deletion and return | Public claim only | Data protection agreement clause 9.1 requires prompt deletion of Customer Personal Data after the 30-day post-termination window unless retention is required by data protection law, expressly excluding copies of personal data processed on behalf of another Corsearch customer or by a subprocessor. Clause 9.2 requires return of all existing copies where the customer gives at least 30 days' prior written notice. No certificate of destruction is promised and nothing addresses deletion of data that is not personal data, such as search histories and reports. | Will you certify deletion in writing, and does deletion extend to search histories, reports and any copies held by the AI infrastructure providers? | [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement) |
| Vendor access to content | Public claim only | Data protection agreement clause 4.1 requires all persons who process Customer Personal Data to be under confidentiality obligations at least as protective as the DPA, to have sufficient skills and training on commercially reasonable endeavours, and to comply with data protection laws. Access is also operational: the product page describes Expert Watch as combining AI-driven monitoring with expert review workflows, and the AI transparency policy states that in Brand Protection and Content Protection 'Corsearch analysts and customer users provide essential human oversight before taking enforcement actions'. The technical and organisational measures document that clause 4.2 relies on was not read, so no staff-access control detail is verified, and no country is published for support staff. | Which Corsearch personnel can see our searches and watch portfolios, in which countries, and is that access logged and available to us? | [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow); [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy) |
| Access control and authentication | Not confirmed | The user agreement describes registration for a username and password and platform logins, and prohibits circumvention of authentication, bulk database downloading and automated query generation. Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, role separation and administrator audit logs are not described on any page read; data protection agreement clause 4.2 points to a technical and organisational measures document at corsearch.com/privacy/technical-and-organisational-measures, which was not fetched within the operation budget. | Does the platform support SSO and enforced multi-factor authentication, and can an administrator export a per-user access and search log? | [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement); [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement) |
| Encryption and technical measures | Public claim only | Data protection agreement clause 4.2 obliges Corsearch to implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures 'as detailed here', linking to corsearch.com/privacy/technical-and-organisational-measures, and permits updates provided they do not materially decrease the overall level of security. That document was not fetched within the operation budget, so no algorithm, transport version or key-management arrangement is verified. The AI transparency policy points to ISO 27001:2022 certification without naming any specific control. | Provide the technical and organisational measures schedule, including encryption in transit and at rest and key management, and confirm it is contractually binding on us. | [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement); [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy) |
| Independent security assurance | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy states that Corsearch platforms maintain technical safeguards 'demonstrated by our ISO 27001:2022 security certification'; no certificate, scope or statement of applicability was read. Data protection agreement clause 10 gives the customer, or a third-party auditor bound by confidentiality, an audit right exercised by requiring completion of the customer's security assessment questionnaire and, to the extent applicable and available, requesting copies of certifications and audit reports issued by independent third parties where controls have not materially changed. No SOC 2 report, penetration test or AI management system certification is claimed. | Provide the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate and scope naming TrademarkNow, plus any SOC 2 report and the most recent penetration-test summary. | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement) |
| Contract, entity, liability and forum | Public claim only | The data protection agreement names Corsearch B.V., registered in the Netherlands with KVK 54875625 at Naritaweg 116, 1043 CA Amsterdam, and forms part of a Corsearch Master Services Agreement or other written agreement. The user agreement governs site and service use unless a separate contract is in place, limits any liability related to the content and preparation of a trade mark search report, and of an international search report with opinion, to a refund of the fees paid, and disclaims accuracy, non-infringement, comprehensiveness, currency and suitability of purpose for retrieved information. Neither document read states a governing law or forum, no Australian contracting entity appears, and the data protection agreement does not list Australian privacy law among the Data Protection Laws it covers. | Which entity would contract with an Australian firm, under which governing law and forum, and will the agreement cover the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principle 8? | [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement); [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement) |
| Cross-border transfers | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy states platform infrastructure is hosted in data centres in Germany. Data protection agreement clause 8 permits transfers of Customer Personal Data to affiliates and subprocessors outside the EEA where carried out in accordance with data protection laws, and requires the relevant standard contractual clauses, published at corsearch.com/privacy/sccs and incorporated into the DPA, for transfers to a third country. The framework is built around export from the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland; Australia is not addressed, and no country list is published for the AI infrastructure providers. | List every country in which our queries, watch data and AI inference are processed, and how transfers out of Australia would be handled under Australian Privacy Principle 8. | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement) |
| Incident notification | Public claim only | Data protection agreement clause 4.3 requires Corsearch to notify the customer of a data breach without undue delay and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware, with specified content including the nature of the breach, categories and approximate numbers affected, likely consequences and remediation, and to cooperate with the customer's own obligations. Clause 4.3.5 states that, except where required by data protection law, Corsearch will not notify any third party including a supervisory authority or data subject, and clause 4.4 requires the customer to coordinate in good faith on public statements that refer to Corsearch, its employees, a subprocessor or the services. The definition of data breach covers breaches suffered by Corsearch or any subprocessor but excludes breaches caused by the customer or a user. No incident history is published. | Confirm the 72-hour clock applies to our agreement, how it works alongside Australian notifiable data breach obligations, and whether there have been material incidents in the last 24 months. | [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement) |
| Change notice for models, processors and terms | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy states that Corsearch uses various AI models and providers and that 'If a change to an AI tool materially decreases privacy, security, functionality, or performance, Corsearch provides 30 days' advance notice to impacted customers. Routine updates do not require prior notice', and that the notice itself may be updated by updating the page. Data protection agreement clause 7.4 gives at least 30 days' written notice of subprocessor additions or replacements, and clause 8.2 reserves the right to change the published standard contractual clauses where legally required. The user agreement states Corsearch may change it at any time without prior written notice, with posting treated as written notice and continued use treated as acceptance. | Who decides whether a model change materially decreases performance, and can we require notice of every model or provider change affecting our searches? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement); [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement) |
| Export and exit | Public claim only | Data protection agreement clause 9.2 requires return of all existing copies of Customer Personal Data on at least 30 days' prior written notice, and clause 9.1 sets a 30-day post-termination retention window before deletion. Against that, the user agreement prohibits downloading substantial portions of the databases and restricts reproduction, dissemination and resale of retrieved data, so what a firm may retain after exit depends on those restrictions rather than on an export right. No export format, migration assistance or archive access period is published. | On exit, in what format are our searches, watch portfolios and reports returned, and what may we keep and continue to use under the reproduction restrictions? | [Corsearch Data Protection Agreement](https://corsearch.com/privacy/data-protection-agreement); [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement) |
| Connectors and third-party data sources | Public claim only | The user agreement describes investigative tools that retrieve additional information on referenced records through third-party providers, naming data from the USPTO, internet search engines and Secretary of State offices, disclaiming accuracy and comprehensiveness, and stating that where a user reaches a third-party public website through those tools the user must accept that site's own access agreement and is wholly responsible for compliance. The AI transparency policy names OpenAI, Google Gemini and Amazon AI as AI infrastructure and model providers under enterprise data processing agreements. No customer-facing connector or integration is published. | Which third-party sources do the investigative tools call for an Australian search, and what of our query is sent to each? | [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement); [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy) |
| Open-web retrieval | Public claim only | For TrademarkNow the processing sources listed in the AI transparency policy are public trade mark registry data and customer inputs; scraped marketplace and web data is listed against Brand Protection and Content Protection rather than Trademark Solutions. The user agreement, however, states that investigative tools retrieve data from third-party providers including internet search engines and Secretary of State offices, and the product page offers Company Name search for common-law searching and competitive landscaping, which is retrieval beyond the registers. | Does any TrademarkNow feature query the open web or a search engine at run time, and can that be disabled for our account? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [User Agreement for corsearch.com (updated 27 July 2021)](https://corsearch.com/user-agreement); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow) |
| Automated actions and autonomy | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy states 'Our systems avoid fully autonomous decision making, and we encourage customers to involve human oversight. The final decision to act upon an AI output rests entirely with the user', with analyst and customer oversight before enforcement action in Brand Protection and Content Protection. For Trademark Solutions the described behaviour is scoring, ranking, alerting and suggestion rather than action: Automated Watch surfaces matches for review and Name Generator produces candidate names. No filing, correspondence or enforcement step is described as taken automatically for TrademarkNow. | Can any watch or screening configuration send output to a third party, or initiate any step, without one of our users approving it? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow) |
| Human review of AI outputs | Public claim only | The AI transparency policy gives users a 'Right to Human Review': to request that risk scores or programmatic classifications with material impact be reviewed by a human team member, and a right to transparency about how a tool calculates scores or generates outputs. It also records that outputs are guidance only, are not formal legal clearance, and that in Trademark Solutions responsibility for legal evaluation rests with the customer. Expert Watch is described on the product page as combining AI-driven monitoring with expert review workflows; no in-product control requiring a named reviewer before an output is used is described. | How is the right to human review exercised in practice, within what time, and does it cover NameCheck similarity scores and Nice Class suggestions? | [Corsearch AI Transparency Policy](https://corsearch.com/legal/corsearch-ai-transparency-policy); [TrademarkNow product page](https://corsearch.com/trademarknow) |

## Notes

Four operations spent: the AI transparency policy, the user agreement, the data protection agreement and the privacy document index; the product page came free from the Phase 2 cache. The Phase 2 capability record is carried forward unchanged, with the AI transparency policy adding the module names and the EU AI Act classification for each. The Australian question Phase 2 left open is now answered as far as the vendor's own documents go, and the answer is negative rather than unknown on hosting: the AI transparency policy states platform infrastructure is in data centres in Germany, the data protection agreement names Corsearch B.V. (Netherlands, KVK 54875625) as the contracting party, and its Data Protection Laws definition covers the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and PIPL but not the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). No Australian entity, office, customer, ACN or ABN is published, so Australian presence remains unknown and supply into Australia is still unproven. Recorded as a published position rather than resolved: customer inputs are stated to be used for limited, targeted model refinement, while Name Generator prompts and user personal data are stated never to train models, and the document does not say which side a TrademarkNow search query falls on. Not reached inside the four-operation cap, and both are linked from the DPA that was read: the subprocessor list at https://corsearch.com/privacy/subprocessors and the technical and organisational measures schedule at https://corsearch.com/privacy/technical-and-organisational-measures; the standard contractual clauses at https://corsearch.com/privacy/sccs and the full privacy policy at https://corsearch.com/privacy-policy were also not read. Encryption specifics and authentication controls therefore remain unverified. Ownership is left unknown: the site map lists a press release slug about the company becoming independent after a sale to a private equity firm, but that page was not read and its wording comes from the URL, so nothing about ownership is recorded. hqCountry is null because the only entity established is the Netherlands contracting party, which is not evidence of where the group is headquartered. Two observations about the product page, offered without inference: its illustration filenames begin Gemini_Generated_Image_, which concerns the page's pictures and not the product's models, and the navigation shows a sales telephone number in a non-working pattern. Capability list updated 2026-09-27 when the controlled vocabulary was extended from 19 to 38 values: added ip-search-and-clearance. Values already present were kept, because they remain true descriptions of what the product does. Segment set to intellectual-property on 2026-09-27 when that value was added to the controlled SEGMENT list (previously recorded as legal-research because no intellectual-property value existed).
