How to search trademarks for a business name
Trademark research should consider similar names, related goods or services, status, geography, and unregistered use, not only exact text matches. A clear exact-name search is not legal clearance.
NameFinder provides direct USPTO, EUIPO, and Google search links for each candidate. It does not scan, score, or provide a legal opinion.
Real RDAP Verification
Every name is verified live against official WHOIS/RDAP registries across .com, .io, .ai, .dev, and .app — no stale, cached guesses.
Multi-Namespace Handles
Check matching social handle availability across GitHub, npm, YouTube, X, and Instagram in one pass alongside your domain search.
Honest Registrar Prices
Transparent wholesale prices directly from Porkbun, Namecheap, and Cloudflare — zero affiliate price markups or registration traps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an exact trademark search enough?
No. Similar spelling, sound, meaning, related classes, geographic rights, and common-law use may matter. Professional clearance is broader than a simple search.
Does NameFinder scan trademark databases?
No. It creates direct search links to official resources and Google. Review the results yourself and consult a qualified attorney when the decision is material.
