"Can I use this name?" — the confusingly-similar live US trademarks, before you file.
The idea: before you commit to a brand or product name — or before your naming agent hands one back —
you want the confusingly-similar live marks that could get a filing refused: not just the
exact string, but phonetic, spelling, and prefix/suffix variants in the relevant class.
A free USPTO search finds the exact words; the paid clearance tools ($169/report) find the similar
ones. We'd make that an exact, fast MCP tool an agent calls directly —
check_name_clearance(name, class) → ranked confusable live marks + serial numbers + status —
so a naming agent can screen hundreds of candidate names in a loop, and a founder can knock out a doomed
name before the ~$250–350 filing fee and 8+ months.
Indicative pricing, self-serve: free for a handful of checks a month, then from about $29/mo metered, or per-report for the full export. (For comparison, incumbents charge ~$40–$169 per report.)
