How it works

- Review the notes and classesThe tool shows weak spots in the name and the classes of goods and services.
- Open the official registersThe buttons open the search with your name already entered. Check matches in your classes, domains and handles.
We do not offer naming – but we turn a finished name into a brand. We will design a logo that reads well on a sign, on packaging and in a profile picture, and hand over every file.

Why check a name before the logo
A name someone has already registered in your field is a risk: a claim from the mark owner and the loss of your sign, packaging, domain and everything you have printed. Checking a name before you order a logo and print costs far less than renaming later.
What the tool does
It reviews the name itself: length, spelling in Latin script, descriptive and promotional words, resemblance to well-known brands. It suggests classes of goods and services for your field. It gives buttons that open the official search in the Ukrainian trademark register, the European TMview database and the WIPO international database with your name already entered. It checks whether .com and other domains are connected and links to social media handles.
One name, two businesses: how that works
A trademark is not protected “in general” but for specific goods and services. They are divided into 45 classes of the International (Nice) Classification. A hair salon is class 44, a shop is class 35, a coffee shop is class 43. So a name registered for a hair salon usually does not stop you from opening a shop with the same name. The exceptions are well-known marks, which are protected in every class, and closely related fields where a customer may think it is one company.
The name is taken in another country
A mark is valid in the territory where it is registered. If a name is registered only in the United States, it can be used in Ukraine – but you will not be able to enter the US market with it. And the other way round: a Ukrainian registration gives no protection abroad. International registrations under the Madrid System can cover dozens of countries at once, so look beyond the national register.
What the tool does not do
It does not search the registers automatically: their terms prohibit automated queries, so the search opens in the official interface and you review the matches yourself. It does not assess likelihood of confusion and does not give a legal opinion. Only a trademark attorney, after a full search, can say that a name is free and can be registered.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a name that already exists in another field?
Usually yes, if it is registered for other classes of goods and services and is not a well-known mark. In closely related fields a conflict is possible, so the final assessment comes from a trademark attorney.
The name is registered only in another country. Can I use it in Ukraine?
A mark is valid where it is registered. If it is absent from the Ukrainian register and from international registrations covering Ukraine, there is usually no obstacle to using it there. Entering that other country’s market will be closed.
Does the tool say a name is free?
No. The tool gives no such conclusion: it opens the official search and explains what to look at. It is a preliminary check, not a legal opinion.
What are Nice classes?
The International Classification of Goods and Services: 45 classes under which trademarks are registered. The tool suggests classes for your field as a rough guide.
Why does a domain “look available” rather than definitely available?
The tool only sees whether the domain is connected right now. A domain may be bought but not connected. A domain registrar gives the exact answer.
Can you come up with a name for my business?
No, the studio does not offer naming. We design a logo and brand identity for a name you have already chosen and checked.
