How to Check a Name Before Building a Brand

Simple due diligence steps every founder should take.

Before you build a brand around a name, do basic clearance. Search the name on major search engines and social platforms to see who else is using it. Check national trademark databases for identical or confusingly similar marks in your industry.

Remember that owning a domain does not give you trademark rights. Trademarks are established through use and registration in specific classes and jurisdictions. If the stakes are high, consult a qualified trademark attorney.
