$5 Million a Year From Data They Don’t Own

Trademarkia
  • $5 million annual revenue

On a recent episode of the My First Million podcast, Shaan Puri was complaining about the USPTO website 🤬

That’s the website you go to if you want to apply for a patent or trademark in the US, or see which ones already exist.

At about the 41-minute mark of the podcast, Shaan talks about how ugly and unusable that website is… 

It’s a public database… somebody should just make a more consumer-friendly layer on top. And then I found a business that does this.

That business is Trademarkia 👈

They basically provide a much better user-interface for all the publicly available data on the USPTO website, then sell a bunch of products and services related to that.

Their main offering appears to be a trademark registration service for $99.

According to Shaan, the business does $5 million a year in revenue 💰

Super-impressive for a website built on data that’s freely available elsewhere. They just made it easier to access and prettier to look at.

What other publicly available data is presented poorly online?

Could you build a consumer-friendly layer on top of that? 🤔
