Screen Trademark
Screen a proposed trademark for conflicts and assess its distinctiveness before filing. Searches trademark registries, evaluates the mark on the Abercrombie spectrum, analyzes likelihood of confusion with prior marks, and produces a conflict report with actionable risk ratings.

- When rebranding or expanding into new goods/services classes
- Before filing a trademark application (national, EU, or international)
- When evaluating acquisition targets with trademark portfolios
- Before launching a product in a new geographic market with existing branding
- When a cease-and-desist letter is received and you need to assess exposure
Inputs

- Required: Goods and/or services the mark will cover (plain language description)
- Required: Geographic scope (US, EU, specific countries, or global)
