Free USPTO federal register screen
Is my startup name trademarked?
A fast first-pass screen against the USPTO federal register — sound-alikes, look-alikes, and same or related classes, in plain English. No signup, no email, no cost.
Try one:
Watch this name for new filings
Get alerted when a new USPTO filing appears that is confusingly similar to your name. We screen everything already on the register first, so old marks never alert — only filings that appear after you start watching.
Domains — is the name free to register?
Checks .com, .io, .ai, .co, .app, .dev, .net, .org against the registries (RDAP). A free domain is not trademark clearance.
Outside the US — EU & UK marks
Same scoring, run against TMview (EUIPO, offices EM + GB). Best-effort: TMview sometimes refuses automated requests — if it does, this says so instead of failing.
Screen only — not a clearance opinion, not legal advice.
This checks the USPTO federal register for sound-alikes, look-alikes, and same/related classes, plus domain availability and EU/UK marks above. It does not search common-law use, state registers, social handles, or non-EU/non-UK registers. A clear screen does not mean a name is safe to use or register. Get a trademark attorney for a full clearance before investing in a brand or filing ($350/class USPTO fee). Data can lag live filings by days — very recent applications may not appear yet.
