Most business name generators happily suggest a name three other companies already own, this one runs the trademark check before you fall in love
Type your industry. A neural naming + scoring engine scans the live competitive landscape, generates 20 brandable candidates, then runs a real trademark check on the top 12 across USPTO, EUIPO, and WIPO Madrid plus live domain availability across .com, .io, .ai, .co.uk and .dev. Filings, owners, NICE classes, prices, the lot. Free, ~25 seconds, cached searches unlimited.
Key takeaway: Most business name generators sell you a name and a domain but never check trademarks, so the conflict surfaces months later as a cease-and-desist. This one scans the live competitive landscape, generates and scores 20 candidates, then checks the top 12 against USPTO, EUIPO and WIPO Madrid registries plus live domain availability across .com, .io, .ai, .co.uk and .dev. Free, no login, about 25 seconds.

Why every name generator should do trademark check (and most don't)
Atom.com, Namelix, Shopify, Wix, none of the big-volume business name generators check trademarks. They give you a name, sell you a domain, and move on. Six months later when your brand is on Stripe, your fonts are picked, your logo is across packaging, that is when the cease-and-desist letter from another company in your NICE class arrives. By that point, rebranding costs five figures minimum.
Trademark conflicts in your same business class (the NICE classification system covers 1-45) are what matter. A bakery in Class 30 (food) cannot use a name already trademarked by another bakery in Class 30. But a bakery and a software company can share a name if their NICE classes do not overlap. The check is nuanced; this tool surfaces the data and lets you make the call.
What this tool actually checks
USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office), federal US trademark database. EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office), EU-wide trademarks. WIPO Madrid, international protection system covering 130+ countries via the Madrid Protocol. The data is fresh, under 24 hours for USPTO and EUIPO, 1-7 days for WIPO Madrid.
What the tool does not do (yet): full international filing recommendation, NICE class conflict analysis with your specific products, common-law trademark search (unregistered marks established by use). Those need an attorney. The tool gives you the registered-mark filter so you can hand the shortlist to an attorney with confidence the obvious conflicts are already gone.
Grounded names and live domains, not generic noise
Before a single name is generated, the engine scans the live competitive landscape for your niche so candidates stand apart from the players already in the market instead of echoing them. Then each shortlisted name is checked for live domain availability and registration price across .com, .io, .ai, .co.uk and .dev, so you are not falling for a name whose domain costs five figures or is already parked. Export the whole shortlist to CSV or email it to yourself in one click.
Once you have settled on a name, the hard part starts: turning it into a brand. That is a separate craft, see the brand identity and trademark service for logo, identity system, and the actual trademark filing, or read how design teams ship a coherent identity in Dribbble vs Behance for 2026.
How the tool keeps it free
Aggressive caching plus tiered checking. Each fresh search generates 20 names; the top 12 by brandability score get the trademark check. The remaining 8 are presented as alternatives without the TM data. Most users only need 3-5 names to evaluate; 12 is plenty. Costs us $0.30-0.65 per fresh search; cached searches are free. If the budget hits, we shift to a freemium tier, until then, free.
Frequently asked questions
Is this business name generator free?
Yes, completely free. Each search generates 20 names and runs a real trademark check on the top 12 across USPTO, EUIPO, and WIPO Madrid. No sign-up and no card. Caching keeps it free; if budget pressure ever hit we would move to a freemium tier, but today every search is free.
Does it actually check trademarks?
Yes. Unlike most name generators, it queries USPTO, EUIPO, and WIPO Madrid for registered marks on each shortlisted name and surfaces conflicts, so you can hand a pre-filtered shortlist to an attorney. It does not replace legal clearance or check unregistered common-law marks.
Which trademark databases does it search?
Three: USPTO for US federal marks, EUIPO for EU-wide marks, and WIPO Madrid for international protection across 130 plus countries. Data is under 24 hours fresh for USPTO and EUIPO, and 1 to 7 days for WIPO Madrid.
Can I trademark a name the tool says is clear?
A clear result means no obvious registered conflict in those databases, not a guarantee. Eligibility also depends on your NICE class, common-law use, and distinctiveness. Use the tool to filter obvious conflicts, then confirm with a trademark attorney before filing.
Does it check domain availability?
Yes. After the trademark check, it queries name.com for live availability and registration prices across .com, .io, .ai, .co.uk and .dev for each shortlisted name, so the trademark picture and the domain picture sit side by side.
Can I export or email the results?
Yes. Every shortlist has a one-click CSV export, and you can email the full results to yourself, names, brandability scores, trademark status, and domain availability. No account needed.
