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. The tool generates 20 brandable name candidates with Claude, then runs a real Signa.so trademark check on the top 12 across USPTO, EUIPO, and WIPO Madrid. Filings, owners, NICE classes, the lot. Free, ~20 seconds, cached searches unlimited.

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.
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.
