MCInventTrademark Intelligence
Free, no account. If you later pay and file on a Strong rating and the USPTO refuses it under §2(d), we refund every dollar.
Enter the name and what it's for. We score it against the grounds the USPTO actually refuses marks on.
A registrability score, plain-English risk factors, and §2(d) conflicts from real trademark filings.
Get stronger name ideas and an attorney-ready prep report — then you or your lawyer file with eyes open.
What a refusal actually costs. The USPTO base fee is $350 per class and it is not refunded when your mark is refused. A goods description you wrote yourself instead of taking from the ID Manual adds $200 per class on top. Neither of those is the expensive part — the expensive part is the name already being on your site, your app listing and your packaging. Check the fees yourself.
Find out if the name is even worth filing.
No account. One check, the score, and the reason.
Enter the name, pick what it's for, and read the score — most checks take under a minute. The step-by-step guide walks through reading a §2(d) conflict, strengthening a weak mark, and what to hand your attorney.
No. MCInvent is an analysis tool that helps you file smart — it points out risks and fixes so you're not blindsided. Confirm anything important with a licensed trademark attorney before filing.
No — and that's deliberate. We prepare; you or your attorney file. That keeps it honest (no unauthorized practice of law) and far more affordable than a full-service filing.
No. The score is a fit-and-risk signal based on the grounds the USPTO refuses marks on — not the examiner's decision. A distinctive name can still collide with an existing mark, which is why nothing reads "strong" until the conflict search clears it.
The USPTO's public trademark records. We index them so you get instant look-alike matches instead of searching by hand — then you verify at the source.
Coined names are the strongest kind, but a score can't reach "strong" on distinctiveness alone — registration also turns on not colliding with an existing mark. Clear it against the full USPTO database (and an attorney) to be confident.
Your marks and searches are stored to your account so you can see your history. When you use the AI features, the text you enter is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) only to generate your result — never sold, never used to train models by us. Full details in our privacy policy.
It's a transparent heuristic — every rule maps to a real ground the USPTO refuses marks on (distinctiveness §2(e)(1), surname §2(e)(4), likelihood of confusion §2(d), and so on). It's not a machine-learning black box. See the full breakdown on our methodology page.
Use it as a starting signal, not the final word — it flags known refusal grounds, but a trademark attorney weighs the full picture (including things a heuristic can't see). If you think a flag is wrong, that's exactly the kind of thing to raise with counsel before filing.
Yes, and you do it yourself in two clicks — log in and hit Manage subscription in the header to open Stripe's billing portal, where you can cancel, swap your card, or download invoices. No email, no retention call. You keep Pro until the end of your billing period, with no further charges.

One check is free and needs no account. If it comes back Strong, you will know why. If it comes back weak, you will know exactly what to change — and you will have found out now rather than in an office action.
Then, if you want the packet: file on a Strong rating, get refused under §2(d) inside twelve months, and we refund every dollar you paid us.
