Namealike

Know when someone files a trademark like yours.

Every day we check every new US trademark application against your brand. If one could be confused with yours, you get a plain-English email the next morning, months before the deadline to object. $49 a year.

How it works

1. Tell us your markYour brand name or slogan, plus your USPTO serial number if you have one, or a line about what you sell.
2. We check every dayAbout 2,000 new applications are filed every day. We compare each one with your mark: how it looks, how it sounds (BRITELEAF vs BRIGHTLEAF), spelling, meaning and translation. Then we check whether they sell related things.
3. You get results right awayYour first report covers the last 30 days of filings and arrives within about 15 minutes. After that, the day we find a possible conflict, you get an email explaining why it matters, with a link to the official record. Every Monday a short summary confirms the watch is running, even in a quiet week.

What an alert looks like

An example with made-up names.

Subject: Trademark alert: 1 new filing like BRIGHTLEAF 1 new US filing could be confused with your mark: • BRITELEAF TEA CO — strong match (classes 030, 035, filed 2026-10-14) Why: "Briteleaf" sounds the same as "Brightleaf" and both are used for tea. Owner: Example Holdings LLC Details: official USPTO record What you can do: keep an eye on these. When a filing is published for opposition you have 30 days to object; an attorney can tell you whether it's worth acting.

Why bother?

The USPTO doesn't warn you when someone files a mark close to yours. Once a lookalike is published, you have 30 days to oppose it. After that, getting it cancelled is slower and much more expensive. A watch means you hear about it while it's still cheap to act.

Questions

Is this legal advice?

No. We're not a law firm. We flag filings that might conflict with your mark and explain why in plain English. Whether to act, and how, is a question for a trademark attorney.

Do you use AI?

Yes. We use local AI models that run on our own hardware, with no cloud-based models. Your data is never used for training.

Do I need a registered trademark?

No. You can watch a pending application or a brand name you use but haven't filed yet. If you have a serial number, we use it to read your exact goods and services.

What does it cover?

New applications filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office that contain words: brand names and slogans alike. It doesn't cover logo marks (yet), state trademarks, other countries, or business names that were never filed as trademarks.

Will it catch everything?

No watch does. We tested it on real trademark disputes. Its name screening caught 95 of 100 filings that owners actually went on to oppose, each hidden among a full day of new applications. That's why we email you anything that's close and let you decide.

How is this so much cheaper than other watch services?

It's automated from start to finish. No analyst reads your results, so there's no analyst to pay. You still get daily coverage of every new US filing, with every alert explained.

Are you the USPTO?

No. We're an independent service, not affiliated with the USPTO. Be wary of letters or emails that look official and ask for payment after you file. We'll never contact you about a filing unless you've signed up.

How do I cancel?

Any time, from the "Manage subscription" link at the bottom of every email or this page. Your watch runs until the end of the period you've paid for.
