Trademarks + Brands by Corsearch

Corsearch, a global trademark solutions leader, is pleased to announce the closing of its sale to Audax Private Equity, effective today. As previously reported, in October 2017, Audax Private Equity agreed to purchase Corsearch from Wolters Kluwer. Today’s closing represents the finalization of that transaction, resulting in a newly independent Corsearch company.

The move to an independent company provides Corsearch with many opportunities in an evolving industry. Corsearch will be using its new status to enrich the industry-leading offerings in trademark and domain solutions that it offers today, as well as to expand into new areas.

Today marks the launch of Corsearch Domain Vigilance, a fast and convenient domain investigation tool that uncovers hidden risks across domains globally for trademark practitioners. This self-service tool enables users to conduct a quick WHOIS ownership lookup for a single domain and then, using the ownership record, uncover alternate domains owned by the same individual

With over 326 million registered domain names as of March 2016, Domain Vigilance responds to the growing market demand for more robust and detailed monitoring and risk management with diverse applications, including:

• Screening for existing domains that conflict with new trademark procurement;
• Auditing and monitoring corporate domain portfolios or partner domains for brand and regulatory compliance;
• Identifying and reviewing domains related to mergers and acquisitions; and
• Discovering unknown trademark and copyright infringement.
