KNOCK-OUT · NO CHARGE
Free Trademark Search
A no-cost knock-out check of the federal register, with a straight answer about whether your name is worth filing.
Overview
Before you pay anyone anything, it is worth knowing whether your name is already taken in your category. Our free search is a genuine knock-out check of the federal register, not a lead-capture form that returns a generic "you may have conflicts" screen designed to make you nervous enough to buy.
You send us the mark and what you sell. We look, and we tell you what we find — including when the answer is that it looks clear and you do not need our comprehensive search.

A plain answer
Clear, borderline, or blocked — and if it is borderline, exactly what makes it so rather than a vague warning.

Questions
Free Trademark Search FAQs
There is not one. A knock-out search takes us a short time and it is how we would start any engagement anyway. Some people go on to file with us and some do not.
No. It covers the federal register only. It will not surface state registrations or unregistered common-law users, which is exactly what the comprehensive search is for.
