Federal + 50-State Trademark Register Search — Scope Request
Before you commit to a proposed word mark, you may want a dated, readable record of what the official trademark registers show for that name today. This page tests demand for that records inventory.
This page describes a search receipt we are considering offering for one proposed word mark. Federal plus all 50 state trademark registers is the coverage being tested. The planned price is $249 one time. We are not accepting payment for it now, and this page has no checkout. Send the scope you need and we will first review whether every named source can be supported.
Before you request: This would be a records inventory, not legal advice. It is not trademark clearance. It would contain no opinion on registrability, no likelihood-of-confusion analysis, and no conclusion about ownership. A no-match is not permission to use a name.
Request a coverage review
$249 one time — proposed
Your request goes into the queue as a scope question, not an order. Nothing is charged or scheduled automatically. We will not accept a paid full-coverage order unless lawful access and source suitability have been reviewed for every register named in the scope.
What the proposed receipt would contain
The proposed deliverable is a timestamped PDF plus a CSV of the same records. It would reproduce the mark you supplied, character for character, and your goods and services description. That keeps the search boundary visible instead of leaving a later reviewer to guess what was checked.
It would name every official register searched, one by one, preserve each exact query string, and print the UTC time of the search. It would list the records returned by those queries. A register that returned nothing would say so by name. A register that was unavailable, restricted, rate-limited, or not reviewed would be labeled NOT SEARCHED, never left blank or folded into the empty results.
The federal sources to be reviewed are USPTO Trademark Search and USPTO status and document records. State sources would be the individual registers maintained by each secretary of state or equivalent office. We do not claim API access, comprehensive coverage, or that a literal query would retrieve every potentially relevant record.
What a no-match would mean
That is narrower than name availability. It does not mean nobody has rights in the name. Unregistered common-law rights can exist and are outside this scope. A pending application may not yet be visible. A differently spelled mark, or one that sounds the same, can matter without appearing in a literal query. Classification judgment also changes which goods and services are relevant. Those questions require qualified legal review.
Every result is a record we found, not a recommendation to use the name.
The proposed receipt would not search common-law use, the open web, marketplaces, social handles, or domain registrations. It would not say a name is clear, registrable, owned, safe to launch, or free from conflict.
Why all-state coverage is provisional
Fifty-one systems are fifty-one different websites, terms, access rules, and data formats. Some may be searchable cleanly and some may not be. Before accepting a paid order that promises all-state coverage, we intend to review lawful access and source suitability for each register individually. Until that review is finished for every system, we will not take money for the full-coverage version.
If a register cannot be properly supported, the honest result is to name that gap and decline the scope. We will not silently ship a narrower search under a broader description. That is why this is a scope request rather than an order page, and why there is no checkout.
You can read the USPTO website terms of use directly. A link to an official source is context, not a claim that the all-state access review has passed.
What to send
- The exact word mark, including spelling, punctuation, and spacing.
- A plain-English description of the goods or services you would offer.
- The states that matter most, if some are more important than others.
- Any filing date or attorney review already planned.
Do not send confidential legal advice or privileged documents through the scope form. It is designed to establish the requested records boundary, not to open an attorney-client relationship.
What happens after a request
- The scope is stored. It is a demand signal, not a paid order.
- The requested source set is reviewed. Unsupported systems stay visible rather than becoming zero results.
- The scope is either supportable or declined. No checkout is opened by the request itself.
If this bounded version would be useful, request a coverage review. Tell us the mark and the states, and we can determine whether the proposed $249 one-time receipt is a scope the official registers can support. We would rather learn that before taking payment than sell a document that implies more certainty than the sources provide.
