Trademark checker check risk before you register

You can register almost any available domain — registrars don't check trademarks. The risk comes after: the trademark owner can file a UDRP complaint to take the domain, or sue for infringement. That's why screening before you register (and before you invest in branding) matters far more than whether the domain is available.

A domain is an address you rent from a registrar; a trademark is a legal right to a brand name in commerce. Owning example.com gives you no trademark rights, and holding a trademark doesn't automatically give you the domain. Conflicts happen when your domain creates confusion with someone else's trademark — that's what this checker screens for.

It's a screening tool, not legal clearance. It checks a curated list of 50 famous marks plus a best-effort live lookup of USPTO records. It cannot see unregistered common-law rights (which arise from actual business use), pending applications worldwide, or whether your industry overlaps with a mark holder's. Treat a Low result as a good early signal and a Medium/High result as a strong reason to dig deeper.

Pick a different name. High means your name is identical to, contains, or is confusingly similar to a famous trademark — owners of famous marks can enforce even outside their industry under dilution law. The cost of rebranding later (domain, logo, SEO, customer confusion) dwarfs the cost of choosing a safer name now.

The live lookup covers the USPTO (United States). The famous-mark screen covers globally recognized brands. For EU coverage, search EUIPO eSearch plus; for other countries, check each national office. Trademark rights are territorial — a clear US result doesn't guarantee clearance in the EU or elsewhere.

Search the official register for your country (the USPTO database in the US) for the name and close variations in the classes covering your goods or services. A screening tool like this one gives a fast first pass before that deeper search.

Anyone can use ™ to claim a name as their mark, registered or not. The ® symbol is reserved for marks that have completed registration with a trademark office.

Often yes. Trademark rights are tied to specific categories of goods and services, so identical names can legally coexist in unrelated fields — unless one is a famous mark with broader protection.

In the US a registration lasts 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely, provided the mark stays in use and required maintenance filings are made. Other countries have similar renewable terms.
