Six signals — domains, structured USPTO evidence, common-law collisions, web results, category overlap, and social handles — synthesized into a preliminary verdict you can audit. See a sample report.
For professional shortlists
One fixed brief, the same six-signal preliminary report per candidate, persistent comparison, professional notes, and consolidated PDF/CSV exports. $499 one time.
Independent signals, weighed together
Domains, structured USPTO evidence, common-law, web results, category overlap, and selected socials. Each lane reports independently; the aggregate preserves the most cautious material result.
Cited so you can audit the call
Live registry data, auditable USPTO records, web-search results, and real social-handle availability—with limitations shown instead of hidden.
Bookmark, share, or export
Your private report URL is emailed after payment and includes a professional PDF export. Pass either format to your TM attorney for the knock-out search.
Run the candidate through NameVerdict. We check six signals: live domain registries (.com/.io/.app/.dev/.ai); common-law sources (GitHub, Apple's app catalog, Reddit, plus best-effort Product Hunt and Crunchbase web search); Instagram, GitHub, and TikTok handles; a structured search of live USPTO trademark records with class-overlap annotation; the visible web-search landscape; and category collisions. The aggregate verdict is GREEN, YELLOW, or RED, with the evidence and limitations shown inline.
A domain search tells you whether nameverdict.com is available. It does not surface indexed federal-mark evidence, a same-category Reddit collision, a taken Instagram handle, or an entrenched competitor in web search. Domain availability is one of six preliminary signals — and it is often not the one that causes trouble later.
No. NameVerdict runs a structured preliminary search against the official USPTO Trademark Search application's live records, but it is not legal clearance or a comprehensive attorney search. Before adopting a name commercially, consult a registered trademark attorney for a full knock-out search and freedom-to-operate opinion. The point is to eliminate obvious problems before paying for thorough searches on finalists.
Trademarks are filed under Nice classes — a 45-category international system for what a product is. Software is class 9, SaaS is class 42, restaurants are class 43. Two products with the same name can both hold trademarks if they're in different classes, so comparing search results with your class and related goods matters. You can pick the closest match in our form, or leave it on "Infer from product description" and we'll guess from your one-sentence product description.
Typically about a minute per name. The structured domain, common-law, social, and USPTO lanes run in parallel; the research agent then works the web-search and category lanes. Names in a multi-name report run concurrently, so a 5-name report usually returns in 60-90 seconds total.
Full refunds are available before you view the report — once you load the report URL, the purchase is final. If something material is wrong with the report itself, email hello@nameverdict.com and we'll handle it case by case via the Stripe dashboard.
NameVerdict Workspace is a $499 one-time private workspace for one fixed brief and one primary Nice class. Add up to 25 candidate evaluations initially or over time; each receives the same six-signal preliminary NameVerdict report. Compare results, record professional dispositions and notes, and export consolidated PDF and evidence CSV files. It is preliminary screening, not trademark clearance, legal advice, attorney review, or a guarantee that a name is available or legally safe.
