The Problem

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—dimensions exact-match completely misses.

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.

200+ databases, zero unification

Trademark rights are territorial. A name clear in the US may be registered in the EU, China, or Australia. Each of 200+ offices 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.
