Comprehensive Trademark Search

Before you spend money on a filing, find out what's already out there. We run an in-depth clearance search across the federal register and common-law sources to flag marks that could conflict with yours.

Comprehensive trademark clearance search
$49 service fee

Search only, no government fee involved. A search isn't a Federal Govt filing, so there's no separate agency cost to plan for.

How the Search Works

A clearance check before you commit to filing

We take the name, logo, or slogan you're considering and check it against the federal trademark register for marks that are identical or confusingly similar, factoring in how your goods or services compare to the ones already registered. Two marks don't need to be identical to conflict; similarity in sound, meaning, or the impression they leave can matter just as much.

Because federal registration isn't the only source of trademark rights, we also look at common-law and state-level usage where it's relevant to your industry or region. The result is a clearer picture of what's already claimed in the space you're entering, so you can make an informed decision before spending anything on a filing.

What's Included

  • Federal trademark register search for your proposed mark
  • Review of common-law and state-level usage where relevant
  • Comparison against similar goods and services classes
  • Written summary of potential conflicts found
