About availability and trademarks
The preliminary screening is designed to catch obvious conflicts early. It is not legal advice and does not replace formal trademark clearance. Before adopting a name, verification and registration should be handled by a trademark attorney or the relevant registry. That final step is the client's responsibility.
Good to know
Visual identity is not included. Naming works well as the first step before Brand Identity or Complete Branding.
Domain purchase and trademark registration are not included.
