How it works

Three steps, built into how you already develop product.

Step 1

Snap the product

Take one full photo, plus close-ups of any feature that makes it stand out.

Step 2

Pick the category

Choose what it is, like a sneaker, handbag or beauty item, so the search looks in the right place.

Step 3

Read your risk report

See matching design and utility patents, a risk rating for each, and small tweaks that can lower the risk.

The risk report

Clear answers your team can act on.

Takdim gives buyers and designers an early warning, so the right items go to legal review before money is spent. It works alongside your lawyer, not instead of one.

Insulated tumbler · Drinkware
Lid closure
Utility patent · 2 close matches
High
Bottle shape
Design patent · 1 partial match
Medium
Straw
Utility patent · no active match
Low

Suggested tweak: Swap the rotating lid for a flip-top closure to move away from the closest lid patents.

Sample report for illustration. Not legal advice.

Who it's for

For everyone who decides what gets made.

Manufacturers

Check designs before sampling and production, not after the first cease-and-desist letter.

Wholesalers & importers

Screen every new item in your line before you commit to factory orders.

Retail buyers

Ask for a Takdim report as part of vendor review, and keep risky goods off your floor.

Why we built it

Born on the buying floor.

Miro Vigordon, founder of Takdim
Miro VigordonFounder

I spent 18 years as a retail buyer and merchandise manager at major national retailers. Too often I saw a product that looked fine turn out to be too close to someone else's patented design. The result was canceled orders, empty shelves and goods that had to be destroyed.

Nobody on the team was careless. We simply had no fast way to check. Takdim is the tool I wish we'd had: a quick, visual patent check that fits right into the buying and design process.
