Most "free" trademark checkers are free the way a demo is free. They match your name against the register exact-letter only, so anything that merely sounds or looks like your name comes back empty. Then they invite you to pay to find the conflicts that actually matter. That's not a conflict check; it's a lead form.
This one is free the whole way through. It matches your brand name by sound, spelling, and meaning against the live USPTO register, returns the marks that genuinely conflict, and scores the risk 0–100: no account, no credit card, no monitoring subscription waiting at the end. You see the same similarity signals a paid screen would surface, with the evidence behind each match. It's a preliminary screening signal, not legal advice, and it stays free because the point is to help you decide before you spend, not to bill you for the answer.
What "conflict" means beyond an exact match
A conflict isn't only an identical name. It's a name close enough that customers (or a USPTO examiner) could confuse the two. That includes sound-alikes (Nuvo / Novo), look-alikes (rn reading as m), and meaning-alikes (Sunrise / Daybreak in the same category). An exact-match tool reports "no conflicts" on every one of these. Screening across all three dimensions is the difference between a real check and a reassuring blank that missed the point.
Free without the trap
There's no gated result here: the score, the matched marks, and the per-signal breakdown are all visible on the first search. No email wall, no "unlock full results," no auto-enrolled watch service. If you later want a professional clearance search for a name you're serious about, that's a real and worthwhile step, but it's your choice to make, not a checkout you get funneled into.
Frequently asked questions
What's the catch?
There isn't a paid tier gating the result. The tool screens live U.S. federal word marks; a formal clearance search (common-law, state, foreign, design marks, plus legal judgment) is the paid step you may choose later.
Does "no conflicts found" mean the name is fine?
No. It means few close matches surfaced in this dataset. It's a signal, not a verdict, and it doesn't cover every source of risk.
