Selling online?

It's a race to the trademark office.

The moment a brand takes off on Amazon, Shopify, or TikTok, copycats notice. Don't let someone else register your brand name first. Claim your rights now.

Your earlier use gives you grounds to fight back, but that fight can take months and legal fees while your sales sit frozen. Filing first is the simple fix.

Why a real search

A free search finds exact matches. Trouble rarely is one.

Many trademark refusals come from names that are close, not identical: a different spelling, a similar sound, a business that never registered. That's what our report is built to catch.

AI and trademarks

AI can name your brand. It can't clear it.

Chatbots are great for brainstorming. They don't search trademark records, weigh sound-alikes, or read why the USPTO refused similar names. A confident wrong answer is the most expensive kind.

Questions

Good to know

How fast will I get my report?

Within 1 to 2 business days of a complete order. If you add filing, we prepare and file after you confirm the details.

Why not just use the free USPTO search?

It only finds exact matches on the federal register. It won't flag sound-alikes, dead marks, state registrations, or businesses using a name without registering it, and it doesn't tell you how risky your name is.

What if my first choice isn't clear?

Your report explains the risk in plain English. With the Clearance Bundle, you can check one or two alternates at no extra cost.

Are USPTO fees included?

No. The USPTO charges $350 per class of goods or services. We charge it at cost, on top of our flat attorney fee.

Can you guarantee my trademark will register?

No one can. Our report estimates your likelihood of registration so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
