Trademarks · Clearance searches
Check the name before you spend a dime on it. Or before you spend more.
A clearance search tells you whether a name is worth building something on, before you spend any money on packaging, a domain name, and a filing fee that the USPTO won’t refund.
Because of recent Supreme Court rulings, a trademark owner no longer needs to prove you infringed on purpose in order to take away your profits. Having a documented search done before launching is the best evidence of good faith you can have.
We offer two levels. The knockout search scans federal filings for identical and near-identical marks; it answers “is this name obviously taken?” in a day or two. The comprehensive search goes even deeper, into federal records, state registrations, and common-law use, and comes with a written opinion on registrability and conflict risk.
Every StrongTrademarks filing includes the knockout check. Order a comprehensive search when the name really matters to the business.
