Trademark word research for your proposed name.
The $149 USD research service covers preliminary federal wordmark research for one proposed mark and a written summary. It helps identify records for closer review before a filing decision.
What does the research include?
- Review of one proposed word mark and the business category you provide.
- A search for exact and selected similar word combinations in federal trademark records.
- A written summary with selected record references and links.
- Flags for names that warrant a wider search or attorney review.
The agreed scope is confirmed before work begins. Request word research.
What are the limits of a preliminary search?
This package is not a comprehensive clearance search or a legal opinion. Finding no identical federal record does not establish that a name is available or safe to use. Other marks and rights may still need review.
For an explanation of federal and wider clearance searches, use the USPTO search resources. Ask eligible counsel about a broader review when you need a legal assessment.
What information should you prepare?
- The exact proposed name, including spelling and any alternatives.
- A plain-language description of the goods or services associated with the name.
- Your business category and whether you are already using the name.
- Your contact information for confirming the scope.
Do not include passwords, payment-card details or identity documents in an enquiry.
What happens after the summary?
You can review the referenced records, discuss any concerns with counsel and decide whether further research or a registration enquiry is appropriate. Research alone does not submit an application.
