- Price
- From $4,200.00 per project
- Free trial
- A free written review of your current identity, no card, no commitment.
What to send us
The shortlisted names, the products or services the name will cover, and the countries you sell in. Tell us if you already have a trademark attorney.
What you get back
A screening report for each name listing potentially conflicting marks found in databases such as the USPTO, with a rough indication of risk.
What to check before you sign off
Treat screening as a first filter, not legal clearance. Before you commit, a trademark attorney should run a full clearance search and advise on registration.
