Where the data comes from
Checked is not the same as looked up. The report separates the two — and tells you for each source where you stand.
live connected, each with its own status in the report
are automatically queried in the check
In the directory: office name, external links for your own manual research, country domain
fully stored for lookup before filing
Live connected: EUIPO · USPTO · DPMA · Zefix · RDAP · App Store · DNS/E-Mail
If a source fails or a register is not queried, the report discloses this openly. We never count unknown as free. All questions about coverage
How it works
Three steps from entry to the report with source references.
Enter brand
You provide the name you want to check. For the first check, you need neither an account nor a credit card.
Check runs
The connected registers, domains and other sources are queried. If a source fails, this is stated in the report.
Read result
You see a traffic light for each source, the similarity analysis and a recommendation. The full report comes as a PDF with sources, timestamp and checksum.
Live-connected: 7 sources — EUIPO (EU trade marks, effective in all EU member states including Germany), USPTO (USA), Zefix (Swiss commercial register), RDAP domains, Apple App Store, DNS/e-mail records, DPMA (German national trade marks, connected via automated crawling until direct registry access arrives). If a source is down, the report says so openly — checked means actually checked.
One check — everything that can endanger your name
The check covers far more than trademark registers. Eight dimensions in a single run:
Trademark registers
EUIPO, USPTO, Swissreg and a local register index (USA, Canada). Registers we did not query are disclosed openly.
Available domains
Live availability via RDAP: .com, .ch, .de, .io and dozens more endings — matched to your target markets.
Social media handles
7 platforms: Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, GitHub, Facebook.
Company registers
Zefix (Switzerland) live; registers we cannot search are flagged, never concealed.
AI confusion analysis
Phonetic and semantic — catches conflicts that sound or mean alike.
Law & sanctions
Sanctions screening and per-country filing requirements — legal data live from TrabosLex.
Language & culture check
Meaning and pronunciation across languages; the scope actually checked is disclosed in the report.
Verifiable report
PDF with sources, timestamp and audit hash — ready to show your bank, investor or lawyer.
And when we cannot check something, the report says so — we never sell the unknown as “free to use”.
What your report looks like
Every Full Check delivers a PDF report: confusion analysis, register hits with sources, timestamp and audit hash — verifiable for you, your bank or your lawyer.

Frequently asked questions
The questions that are actually asked before purchase.
What does it really cost?
The initial check costs nothing. The full report starts at CHF 4.90. Monitoring costs CHF 39 per year for one trade mark, CHF 129 per year for up to ten. There are no follow-up costs and no fees that only appear at checkout.
What is included in the free check?
You see the traffic light per source and immediately recognise whether there are hits. Without account and without credit card. What is missing is the verifiable element: the PDF report with source references, timestamp and checksum as well as the detailed similarity analysis.
Does this replace a trade mark attorney?
No. This is automated research, not legal advice. For a binding assessment, you need a trade mark attorney. The report is the preparatory work for this — it delivers the same register data that law firms also start with and saves the hours that would otherwise be billed for it.
Which countries are actually checked?
Automated checks cover the connected sources, including EUIPO for EU trademarks, USPTO for the United States, DPMA for German national trademarks and Zefix for the Swiss commercial register. The 197 jurisdictions in the directory are a reference resource with trademark office, filing route and country domain — they are not checked automatically. The report records which registers were checked and which were not.
What happens to my data?
LegalBrandCheck is a Swiss provider, hosted in the EU. Swiss clients can choose to have their data stored in Switzerland. The checked name is not sold to third parties and not used for advertising.
How current is the data?
The data comes from the sources at the time of your query, not from a purchased intermediate database. The timestamp in the report records the moment. Registers change daily — therefore a report is valid for the day on which it was created.
What do I do if there is a hit?
A hit is an indication, not a decision. The report shows how similar the found trade mark is and in which class it is registered. With this, you go to a trade mark attorney who assesses whether a conflict really exists. Often the answer is to slightly modify the name or choose a different class.
Why this if I can search the register for free?
A register search finds identical names in one register. However, conflicts usually arise from similarity, not identity — and rarely in only one register. Here, trade mark registers, domains, handles on seven platforms, company registers and sanctions lists come together in one run, with a similarity analysis by sound, meaning and visual appearance.

Automated research, not legal advice
No guarantee of completeness. Registers change daily. A final trademark check by a licensed professional (trademark attorney) is recommended. This tool does not replace legal advice.
