Atom is currently facing a trademark infringement lawsuit just weeks after launching its new trademark service, which was originally titled Trademark.io. The lawsuit was filed by Trademarkia, a well-established platform that assists with trademark filings, claiming that Atom’s name selection for its service could confuse consumers.
As a response to concerns raised by IP attorney John Berryhill shortly after the launch, Atom has rebranded its platform to Trademark by Atom. However, Trademarkia contends that Atom has acquired other similar domain names that infringe on their trademarks.
For instance, Trademarkia claims that Atom purchased the domain Trademark.ai for $39,000, asserting that the domain leads to a service that utilizes Trademark.io data. Yet, evidence suggests that this site is associated with Dharmesh Shah, co-founder of HubSpot, rather than Atom. The lawsuit also requests the transfer of Trademark.ai to Trademarkia.
Additionally, Trademarkia alleges that Atom acquired trademarkia.io in September 2023. The claims are based on the observation that the domain’s nameservers pointed to Trademarkia’s, but further investigation into the historical ownership record raises questions about the validity of these assertions, especially considering that the domain expired shortly after the alleged acquisition.
This legal battle has the potential to impact both companies in the competitive domain name and trademark industry.
