The person behind TMPilot.ai
Hi, I'm Antonio Blago. For over 5 years I have done SEO for brands like PURELEI, Titus and Lotto Niedersachsen. I built TMPilot.ai because I tried to register my own trademarks and realised: searching DPMA and EUIPO is a nightmare.
The story
Why TMPilot.ai exists
In 2024 I wanted to register a trademark for a new project. I spent hours in the DPMA register, clicking through nested search masks and trying to figure out whether my candidate name collided with an existing trademark. The honest answer: no idea.
The alternative: spend €1,500 of legal budget on a single search that might come back with a PDF risk assessment. For every candidate I want to test. That doesn't work if you want to iterate.
So I built it myself. TMPilot.ai pulls live data from DPMA and EUIPO, runs semantic comparison with GPT-4o, auto-classifies Nice classes and gives you an honest verdict in 30 seconds: file it, tweak it or rethink it. Exactly the tool I needed back then.

How SEO connects to trademark research
Trademark research and SEO are technically surprisingly close: both require clean data mining from semi-structured sources, semantic similarity scoring of strings, and the ability to compress thousands of data points into a clear recommendation.
I have built exactly those disciplines for over 5 years on SEO projects. TMPilot.ai applies that toolkit to the world of trademarks. The result: a search that delivers in 30 seconds what would otherwise take hours.
Live data extraction
DPMA, EUIPO and IR marks in real time, no stale database snapshot.
Semantic similarity
GPT-4o weighs spelling, sound and classes context-aware.
Risk verdict
Traffic-light logic with reasoning: file, refine or drop.
