Search steps documented in audit trail
Enter your mark once. The system runs exact match, phonetic, visual similarity, shared words, coordinated classes, word-level phonetic, design codes, and foreign translation — simultaneously. Every result shows which method found it and why.
See exactly what was searched, how many matches each method found, and how results were ranked. The same audit trail you'd want if you were documenting your search methodology for a client.
Every search shows a risk breakdown: how many marks are critical conflicts, how many deserve review, and how many are low risk. See the highest-threat marks first, with similarity badges and class overlap indicators.
What takes an hour on USPTO.gov takes seconds here. For a deeper look at any specific match, jump to side-by-side similarity analysis.
Type the mark name and optionally select Nice classes. The system automatically decomposes compound words and identifies phonetic variants. Optionally include dead marks to evaluate prior use history.
Eight search methods run simultaneously against 14M+ USPTO records. Results are organized by the method that found them — exact, phonetic, visual, component, and more.
Every result shows a similarity badge, the search method that surfaced it, and a plain-English explanation of why it's relevant. No black box.

The same depth an examiner brings — documented and exportable. Once a mark is filed, set up automated watch alerts so the next conflict surfaces before opposition windows close.
Exact match, phonetic similarity, visual patterns, shared word components, shared words in coordinated classes, word-level phonetic, design codes, and foreign translation. Eight search strategies replicating an examiner's query methodology — automated and documented.
Finds marks that sound alike when spoken aloud and marks with similar letter patterns — the two factors that most often trigger Office Actions. Consumers encounter brands by ear and by glance; examiners test both.
Searches for marks sharing your word components in commercially related classes — not just your filed class. If you file in Class 25 (clothing), the system also checks Class 14 (jewelry) and Class 18 (bags) for marks with matching terms — because examiners do.
Under the Doctrine of Foreign Equivalents, a mark in Spanish, French, or other languages is evaluated by its English meaning. The system detects foreign words and searches for their translations.
Every search step is documented: what was searched, which methods found each mark, and why it scored the way it did. Transparent enough to share with a client or include in a work product file.
Compound marks like BARLYTICS are automatically split into components (bar + lytics) so each word is tested independently. Catches conflicts that whole-mark searches miss.
Generate a professional report with conflict tables, risk breakdown, search methodology documentation, and step-by-step appendices. Ready for your client file.
What used to take an hour of manual queries on USPTO.gov now takes under 5 seconds.
