GleanMark Plans & Features

Written by Howard Katzenberg

GleanMark offers four plans. Free and Starter are for business owners watching their own marks. Professional and Max are for attorneys and firms handling client matters: they add the deadline docket, Office Action pages, USPTO Research and client communications. Every plan includes unlimited USPTO search.

Live pricing lives on the Pricing page. Per-seat rates, annual discounts, and exact monthly prices are set there and in your account’s Billing page. Those are the source of truth. This article describes what each tier includes; it intentionally avoids restating plan prices that can change.

What Each Plan Is For

Free

Try GleanMark with basic monitoring. Search is unlimited; add up to 3 trademarks and 1 tracked owner to see alerts in action. Good for evaluating the platform. You can also buy a single clearance report on demand without a subscription.

Starter

For a business owner watching a few of their own marks. A single-seat plan with Knockout Search, AI prosecution and TTAB summaries, unlimited DuPont analyses, 15 monitored trademarks, 5 portfolios, 1 watch, and a monthly allowance of 5 knockout searches, 1 clearance report (then a per-report price), 1 OA draft and 5 Markus AI messages.

Starter does not include the deadline docket, Office Action pages, USPTO Research, client letters or automatic client emails. The first four are on Professional and Max; automatic client emails are included with Max and a $49/month add-on on Professional.

Professional

For attorneys and firms handling client matters. Per-seat pricing with:

  • The deadline docket, with every client mark’s USPTO deadlines in one place

  • An Office Action page for every letter, with the record side by side

  • USPTO Research: search real Office Actions and responses by refusal type, examiner and outcome, plus Thor Tech Pairs, Crowded Field, Disclaimers, Fame, ID Manual and Cited Marks research

  • Client letters

  • Automatic client emails on USPTO events and scheduled client portfolio reports, as a $49/month add-on (included free during the trial)

  • Unlimited monitored trademarks, tracked owners, portfolios and watches

  • Unlimited Markus AI

  • 25 knockout searches and 3 OA drafts per seat each month, and 2 clearance reports a month for the whole account (then per-use prices)

Max

For law firms and larger practices. Everything in Professional, plus unlimited knockouts and OA drafts, automatic client emails and scheduled client portfolio reports, and branded PDF exports with your firm’s logo. Clearance reports include a monthly per-seat allowance, then a per-report price. Max is per-seat with a volume discount at higher seat counts. See the Pricing page for current rates.

Starter or Professional?

What’s the difference between Starter and Professional? Starter is for a business owner watching a few of their own marks: 15 monitored trademarks, 5 portfolios, 1 watch, and small monthly allowances (5 knockouts, 1 clearance report, 1 OA draft, 5 Markus messages). Professional is for attorneys handling client matters. It adds the deadline docket, a page for every Office Action, USPTO Research and client letters (automatic client emails are a $49/month add-on), and it raises the limits: unlimited monitoring and portfolios, 25 knockouts and 3 OA drafts per seat a month, 2 clearance reports a month, and unlimited Markus.

I’m an attorney with a small trademark practice. Is Starter enough? Usually not, if you respond to Office Actions or keep client deadlines. Starter has no deadline docket, no Office Action pages and no USPTO Research, and it includes one OA draft a month. If you only need occasional searches on a handful of marks, Starter covers that.

What happens to my marks and portfolios on Starter? Nothing is deleted. Starter opens 5 portfolios and monitors 15 trademarks. The rest stay in your account, locked or paused, and come back when you upgrade.

Which plans include the deadline docket? Professional and Max. Free and Starter don’t.

Free Trial

New accounts start with a 7-day free trial of the Professional plan. No card is needed to start the trial.

During the trial you get Professional features with trial allowances for the whole trial period: 25 knockout searches, 3 OA draft responses, and 2 clearance reports. Client emails (event emails and monitoring reports) are included free during the trial and stop when it ends unless you choose Max or add them to a paid Professional plan. Your Billing page shows how many trial days are left.

When the trial ends, your account moves to the Free plan unless you choose a paid plan. Nothing is charged unless you choose one. You can upgrade at any time from the Billing page.

Overages

When you exceed a monthly allowance on a paid plan, two features are available on demand at a per-use price:

Feature

Overage

Clearance report

Per-report price (see Pricing page)

OA draft response

Per-draft price (see Pricing page)

DuPont analysis has no overage; it’s unlimited on all paid tiers. Search is always free and unlimited.

How Feature Gating Works

When you open a feature that’s not included in your plan, GleanMark shows an upgrade prompt explaining which plan includes it. On USPTO Research, Free and Starter accounts see the tabs with a sample of what each one shows. Actions such as running a knockout search or sending a Markus message are counted against your plan’s allowance.

Search is always free and unlimited.

Changing Plans

Open Billing & Plans from your profile menu (/settings/billing) to:

  • View your current plan and usage

  • Upgrade or change your plan

  • Manage payment and invoices through Stripe

Plan changes take effect immediately, and upgrades are prorated. For current per-seat rates and annual-billing savings, see the Pricing page.
