BrandScreen checks a proposed name against trademarks, domain availability, registered business entities, social handles and search competition, and returns it as a single report. Done properly by hand that is five separate searches, which is exactly why founders tend to check the domain, find it free, and discover the trademark problem much later.
Catching a conflict before any money goes into a name is the whole value. Rebranding after launch costs the domain, the handles, the printed material and the search equity built up in the meantime. It also carries a name generator aimed at producing names that are actually available.
Coverage is United States focused, and a screening report is not legal advice, so anything close still wants a trademark attorney. Availability can also change between the check and the registration.
