The fastest, smartest way to check trademark conflicts for free.
Get Instant Results from multiple Trademark databases including USPTO, Europe, Australia, and Canada. Discover potential trademark issues before they can cause problems!
Squadhelp’s Free Trademark Search does much more than just searching the USPTO or repackaging their Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS). We go further than anyone else – almost literally – to help you choose a business or product name that’s less likely to get you in hot water later. Specifically, we (virtually) visit the UK, Canada, Europe, and Australia to check for both exact and close match names. These intelligent close-match trademark checks mean you can make an informed decision about whether a name is unique enough to build your brand around, as well as get some idea of whether or not that name is available. Carrying out as much trademark research as possible and filing your own trademarks is always advisable when launching something new, so why not start with the most complete free search on the web?
Come up with a great name or a shortlist of names you’re excited about. Search Squadhelp’s hand-picked selection of names today, or use our Business Name Generator.
Enter the name you’ve got your eye on and get instant results. You’ll receive a list of businesses in the US, UK, EU, or Canada have the same or similar names trademarked, as well as who owns them and whether or not the trademarks are live or pending.
Check the results from our Free Trademark Search carefully. You may find exact or close match names with a trademark attached that are used in a totally different field from your business. In some cases, this won’t be a problem, but you should still conduct further research. You might also find names that are similar to yours within your own industry. Whenever possible, you should file a trademark for your new business name and any other brand assets to make sure someone else doesn’t use them in the future. You can do this through Squadhelp, as well as researching your top names or brand assets to find out which is safest from a legal point of view.
Ordering a Trademark Report on your favorite name or names is a great way to help avoid legal issues in the future. Our trademark reports are carried out by Trademark Attorneys and include a detailed analysis of Trademark availability and potential as well as a safety score. If you choose a filing package, your personal Trademark Attorney will walk you through Trademark Research, understanding your reports, and filing and being awarded your Trademark. It’s a soup-to-nuts solution for protecting your brand assets as much as possible when launching a new business or product.

A trademark is a distinctive sign, symbol, word, phrase, design, or combination of these elements that identifies and distinguishes the goods or services of one party from those of others. It serves as a source identifier, allowing consumers to associate specific products or services with a particular company or brand. Trademarks are essential for brand protection and play a crucial role in establishing brand recognition and goodwill in the marketplace. Trademarks are usually industry-specific, so if someone in the same industry as you or a related industry has trademarked a name, phrase, or logo, and you use the same or a similar name, phrase, or logo, you’re likely to face legal issues.
A free trademark search allows you to check if a particular trademark is already registered or pending registration. This search helps determine whether a name you love is available for use without conflicting with existing registered trademarks or pending applications. While most free trademark checks are very limited, using only the USPTO’s TESS search, Squadhelp’s searches several international databases.
Squadhelp offers:
Researching trademarks means receiving a full report on the names you’re interested in, including a safety score. Trademark consultations are a phone call with an expert to discuss the legality of filing a trademark for a certain name, tagline, or logo, as well as other options you might have, and filing means a Squadhelp-associated lawyer will apply for a trademark for you and even send cease and desist letters for the first year after you’ve received your trademark. Finally, you can choose a Trademark bundle from Squadhelp. This includes a steep discount for research followed by filing.
A trademark search helps ensure that the proposed trademark does not infringe on the rights of an existing trademark holder. Using an already registered or similar mark can lead to legal disputes and financial penalties. Once you’ve carried out a free trademark search, you can either file for a new trademark yourself or use our Trademark Filing Package to make as sure as possible the brand asset you want to protect is available and then file for it.
Conducting a trademark search offers several benefits, such as:

Trademark infringement occurs when someone uses a trademark that is identical or confusingly similar to a registered trademark in connection with similar goods or services. This unauthorized use can mislead consumers into believing that the infringing products or services are associated with or endorsed by the rightful trademark owner. Trademark infringement violates the exclusive rights of the registered trademark owner and can lead to legal action.
Avoid Trademark infringement by carrying out a free trademark search, consulting a Trademark Attorney about potential trademark infringement, and filing for Trademark registration when you launch a new business, brand, or product. You should also consider potential Trademark issues when rebranding.
Trademark registration is the process of formally filing a trademark application with the appropriate government agency (such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office in the US or the European Union Intellectual Property Office in the EU). The purpose of registration is to obtain legal protection and exclusive rights to use the trademark for the specific goods or services listed in the application. Trademark registration provides valuable benefits, including the ability to enforce the trademark against infringers, use the ® symbol, and establish a stronger legal position in case of disputes.
