Namealike

Know when someone files a trademark like yours.

We check each new US trademark application against your brand, daily. If one could be confused with yours, you get a plain-English email the next morning, months before the deadline to object. $49 a year.

Free spelling check: has anyone filed a similar name lately?

How it works

1Tell us your mark

Your brand name or slogan, and what you sell.

2We check every day

Each of the ~2,000 new US filings a day, by look, sound, meaning and translation, and whether they sell related things.

3You hear right away

A report on the last 30 days within 15 minutes, an email as soon as a match shows up, and a short summary every Monday.

Why it matters

The USPTO doesn't warn you when someone files a mark close to yours. Once a lookalike is published, you have 30 days to oppose it. After that, getting it cancelled is slower and much more expensive. A watch means you hear about it while it's still cheap to act.
