No waiting weeks for a preliminary search. Get instant trademark screening across three major registries so you can move fast.
More than trademarks
Attorneys check trademarks. We check trademarks, domains, and social handles — everything you need to validate a brand name.
Same registries
We search USPTO, EUIPO, and UK IPO — the same official databases trademark attorneys use. Plus AI-powered phonetic and visual similarity analysis.
When should you still hire an attorney?
We believe in being upfront. There are situations where you absolutely need professional legal counsel.
High-risk trademark conflict
If Nombrio flags a potential conflict with an existing trademark in a related class, an attorney can assess the actual likelihood of confusion and advise whether it's safe to proceed.
Filing a trademark application
When you're ready to register your trademark, an attorney ensures your application is correctly classified, properly described, and has the best chance of approval.
Legal defence or opposition
If someone challenges your trademark or you need to oppose a conflicting application, you need an attorney. Nombrio is a screening tool, not legal representation.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Nombrio a replacement for a trademark attorney?
- No. We provide pre-clearance screening to help you decide whether a name is worth pursuing. Our searches cover the same registries attorneys use, but we do not provide legal advice. For filing, opposition proceedings, or legal defence, consult a qualified trademark attorney.
- How accurate is the trademark screening?
- We search the same registries attorneys use — USPTO, EUIPO, and UK IPO. Our AI also checks for phonetic and visual similarity, not just exact matches. However, we cannot capture unregistered (common law) trademarks or very recent filings that have not yet appeared in databases.
- Can I use the report for trademark filing?
- The report provides clearance information but is not a legal document. Many of our users share the report with their attorney as a starting point — it saves both time and money because the initial screening is already done.
- What if I find a conflict in my report?
- A conflict does not necessarily mean you cannot use the name. It depends on the Nice classification, the goods/services involved, and the jurisdiction. Our report gives you the information you need to have an informed conversation with a trademark attorney.
