Screening findings
codetiller.io, codetiller.app, codetiller.dev, and codetiller.ai appeared available at the time of screening. codetiller.com was already registered.
No potentially relevant same-name use was identified in Reddit and Apple App Store. A potentially relevant same-name use was identified on GitHub and requires review.
The Instagram and TikTok handles appeared available at the time of screening. The GitHub handle was already in use. One unavailable handle is treated as a non-blocking practical consideration because other checked handles remain available.
No live exact federal record for CODETILLER was returned. Similar live records were reviewed, but none changed the preliminary GREEN signal. Attorney-led clearance remains necessary before adoption or filing.
No same-name product or company with meaningful search visibility was identified in the reviewed web results.
No same-name product in the targeted adjacent categories was identified in the reviewed results.

Lane 1 — Domains
| Domain | Status | Registrar | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| codetiller.com | taken | Alibaba Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co., Ltd. | 2031-04-28 |
| codetiller.io | available | — | — |
| codetiller.app | available | — | — |
| codetiller.dev | available | — | — |
| codetiller.ai | available | — | — |
codetiller.com is taken, registered 2016-04-28 via Alibaba Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co., Ltd., expiring 2031-04-28 — a long-hold parked-style registration that would require acquisition negotiation. All four alt TLDs are available: codetiller.io, codetiller.app, codetiller.dev, codetiller.ai. Three or more alts available makes this YELLOW rather than RED.
Lane 2 — Common-law (GitHub, Reddit, App Store)
| Source | Status | Matches | Top evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| github | collision | 1 | codetiller/dblog — ddd理解 |
| clean | 0 | — | |
| itunes | clean | 0 | — |
One GitHub collision: the organization codetiller at github.com/codetiller (joined 2021, associated website codetiller.com) holds 1 public repo (dblog). Reddit and Apple App Store returned zero matches. One common-law collision triggers YELLOW under scoring rules. The GitHub org appears to be a Chinese developer account (profile name 码工网) with low activity, which weakens DuPont factor overlap for a US-market software brand, but the handle squatting is a practical obstacle.
Lane 3 — Social handles
| Platform | Status | URL / note |
|---|---|---|
| github | taken | https://github.com/codetiller |
| available | https://www.instagram.com/codetiller | |
| tiktok | available | https://www.tiktok.com/@codetiller |
GitHub handle @codetiller is taken (by the same low-activity org identified in Lane 2). Instagram (@codetiller) and TikTok (@codetiller) are both available. Only 1 of 3 platforms taken — GREEN per scoring rules.
Lane 4 — Structured USPTO preliminary search
| Mark | Status | Retrieval match | Classes | Record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
CODEWALKER IC 009: Downloadable software for use in programming and program writing. | LIVE | orthographic candidate | 9 · other | SN 88515351 RN 6131642 |
Checked 2026-08-28T00:52:14.762Z · Structured records from the official USPTO Trademark Search application's live backend; this application endpoint has no separate public API SLA. USPTO source
Structured USPTO preliminary search — not legal clearance; the official application endpoint has no separate public API SLA. No live exact or materially similar CODETILLER mark surfaced in Class 42. The closest displayed live result, CODEWALKER (serial 88515351), is in Class 9 and requires ordinary related-goods review rather than being treated as clearance.
Lane 5 — Web-search landscape
The available web-search results for 'codetiller' and 'codetiller developer tool' returned no incumbent products, news articles, or high-visibility sites using this name as a brand. This is not a guaranteed reproduction of Google's top ten and does not include Google Trends.
Lane 6 — Category collisions
No crypto token, AI startup, or software product named codetiller found in searches for 'codetiller crypto token' or 'codetiller software startup'. No category-level collision detected.
