Questions about checking your name
Understand the check and decide what to do next.
Is the name check free?
Yes. Enter a candidate name and business description to review preliminary trademark findings and selected domain checks. No account or card is required for the initial check. Saving a result to GleanMark is a separate, optional step.
Does an available domain mean I can use the name?
Domain registration and trademark rights are different questions. An available domain does not establish that a name is free of trademark conflicts. Review the trademark matches and the goods or services they cover before deciding.
What does this check cover?
The check searches U.S. federal trademark records, checks selected .com, .ai, .io, and .co domains, and requests a limited web search. It is a preliminary screen, not a comprehensive clearance search of state records, unregistered uses, or international rights. Unverified lookups are shown separately.
Is this legal advice?
No. Glean.name provides information to help you investigate a proposed name. A favorable preliminary finding does not guarantee a right to use the name or obtain a registration. A trademark attorney can advise on your specific decision.
Why do you need a business description?
Names alone do not describe the whole question. Your products or services help identify relevant classes and explain why a returned record may matter. Keep the description concrete, such as “Appointment-booking software for independent hair salons.”
Can I check more than one candidate?
Yes. Choose Check another name to keep your business description and try a different candidate. Each fresh check reflects the findings returned at that time.
Can I print or email a result?
Use Print / save PDF to make your own copy of a result. A saved result in GleanMark offers account-based recovery and requested email delivery. Printing a copy does not make the result public or create a live monitoring service.
