Trademark Intelligence for Naming Workflows
Your users pick a name, fall in love with it, then discover it's trademarked. Signa screens the name against every register we index before anyone commits, in seconds.
Your users' favorite names are probably already trademarked
Naming tools help users find the perfect brand name, but perfect means nothing if it's legally taken. Without trademark data in the workflow, every suggestion is an expensive gamble.
Exact-match is a false safety net
USPTO's TESS and most trademark databases only support exact-match queries. Real conflicts arise from phonetic similarity, visual resemblance, and conceptual overlap, none of which exact-match search catches.
The rebrand trap
Users invest in logos, domains, and packaging around a name, then discover it conflicts with an existing trademark. Late-stage rebrands cost $200,000+ and destroy timelines.
Every office, its own format
Trademark rights are territorial. A name clear in the US may be registered in the EU, China, or Australia. Every office has its own database, search syntax, and data format.
Clearance takes weeks, not seconds
Traditional trademark clearance requires a search firm, 2–4 weeks of waiting, and $1,500–$5,000 per candidate. For tools generating dozens of names, this bottleneck kills the experience.
