Search by Image
curl --request POST \

  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
Work in progress. Image search is under active development and is not yet available on the production API. This page previews the planned endpoint so you can design against it. Shapes and parameter names may change before GA.

​
Overview

Upload an image and get back trademarks that are visually similar — useful for clearance searches, logo lookalikes, and design-mark screening. Works alongside text search (Search Trademarks) and autocomplete (Suggest). The endpoint will accept either a URL to an image or a multipart upload, and return a ranked list of trademarks with visual-similarity scores.
