Strengthening the Roots of Digital Trust
We’re pleased to announce our collaboration with TMCH (Trademark Clearinghouse) — a globally recognized authority in trademark validation.
This partnership reinforces Proofmarked’s trust model by ensuring that every logo, brand, or trademark onboarded to the platform is first confirmed as a registered and legitimately held mark.
The Verified Root of Trust
Trademark registration represents a formally recognized right — connecting an organization’s brand identity to an established framework of ownership.
Through this collaboration, Proofmarked leverages TMCH’s verification expertise as the root of trust. TMCH confirms that each participating organization is the rightful holder of its recorded trademark before activation within Proofmarked.
This ensures that the digital identities within Proofmarked are verified from an authoritative source, rather than self-declared.
From Verified Proof to Digital Authenticity
Once verified, Proofmarked’s proprietary technology takes over — transforming each validated trademark into a self-sovereign digital identity.
This process empowers organizations to claim, authenticate, and continuously protect their digital footprint across the web.
From there, the Proofmarked browser extension brings that authenticity to life — displaying verified brand identities directly within the browsing experience, giving users a clear, real-time signal that they are engaging with a genuine brand presence.
It’s more than a technical layer. It’s the digital equivalent of a hallmark — a modern proof mark — signifying that what’s being seen has been checked, verified, and proven authentic.
Together, these layers — TMCH’s validation and Proofmarked’s assurance technology — form a continuous chain of trust, extending seamlessly from verified ownership to user confidence.
Why It Matters
This collaboration ensures that the trust users see through Proofmarked’s interface is not just technical — it’s grounded in authoritative verification.
- TMCH provides the verified origin: confirmation of trademark ownership.
- Proofmarked extends that verification into a living, dynamic trust network.
For businesses, that means a credible, verifiable way to demonstrate authenticity.
For users, it means clarity and confidence at the moment of interaction.
Looking Ahead
As cyber threats evolve, lasting digital trust will depend on collaboration between verified assurance and technological innovation.
By integrating TMCH’s validation processes into our onboarding pipeline, Proofmarked reinforces its mission: to build a more transparent, fair, and human model of trust — anchored in verified authenticity, expressed through cutting-edge technology.
We’re proud to work alongside TMCH to turn verified ownership into digital assurance.
Together, we’re building trust that can be proven.
