Name Clearance Brief
A name is cheap until it reaches the packaging — attack it while changing it still costs nothing.
What it is
The name settled before the packaging is ordered, not after the letter arrives. Writes the goods and territories that matter, runs six searches in a fixed order, reads them against the similarity a register judges rather than the exact match a founder looks for, ranks each candidate red, amber or green, and hands an attorney a file that shortens the bill. It issues no clearance opinion and says so. For founders, marketers and agencies putting a word on a product, a door or a domain.
What you receive
a name checked before you commit to it — goods and territories in plain words before any class number, six searches you can honestly run yourself across trade mark registers, company records, domains, handles, marketplaces and plain web use, the phonetic, visual and conceptual passes exact-match searching misses, a red-amber-green verdict per candidate with the descriptive trap named, the shortlist rule that never lets one name proceed alone, the securing sequence that takes domains before any announcement, and the line where this becomes an attorney's job
