Overview
What is Brand Name Check?
A brand name check is a fast, preliminary screen of the trademark register to see whether the name you're considering is already taken or too close to an existing mark. It's the first sanity check before you invest in a name.
It's lighter than a full trademark search — perfect for shortlisting names. If a name looks clear, you move to a comprehensive search and filing; if it's risky, you save yourself a costly mistake early.
We screen the register, flag conflicts and tell you whether the name is worth pursuing — and in which class.

FAQs
Brand Name Check — frequently asked questions
What is a brand name check?
A fast, preliminary screen of the trademark register to see whether a name you're considering is already taken or too similar to an existing mark.
How is it different from a trademark search?
A brand name check is a quick screen for shortlisting names; a full trademark search is a deeper, multi-class clearance done before filing.
Does a clear check mean I can register the name?
It's a strong early signal, but you should follow up with a comprehensive search before filing. The Registry's examination is final.
I own the domain — isn't the name mine?
No. A domain doesn't give trademark rights. Only a registered trademark protects the brand name legally.
Can you check multiple names?
Yes. We can screen a shortlist so you focus on the names actually worth pursuing.
How fast is a check?
Usually same day. A full search takes a little longer.
Will you tell me the right class?
Yes, we point you to the class your goods/services fall under, which matters for both search and filing.
What happens if a name is risky?
We flag it and suggest tweaks or alternatives, saving you from investing in a name you can't protect.
Can you file the trademark after?
Yes. If the name looks clear, we run a full search and take it to filing and registration.
