FAQ

Trademark screening, answered

Is this a legal trademark clearance?
No. BrandScreen runs automated knockout screening for informational purposes — it's a fast first look, not a legal clearance and not legal advice. Before you file or commit to a name, consult a licensed trademark attorney. See our Disclaimer for the full picture.
What counts as a "similar" mark?
We surface exact matches plus text-based similarity — phonetic equivalents, alternate spellings, and close variants. Automated screening can't assess design marks, trade dress, or the legal nuance of “likelihood of confusion,” which is where an attorney comes in.
Which database do you search?
Federal U.S. trademarks on file with the USPTO, including both live and dead records. Common-law (unregistered) rights and many state filings won't appear in an automated check, so absence of a match isn't a guarantee a name is free.
Can it tell me if I can register the mark?
No tool can promise registrability. A clean screen is a good sign, but the USPTO examines each application on its own facts. Treat the score as a way to narrow your options, then validate the finalists with a professional.
