The problem

Most naming tools stop at creative — not clearance

Founders waste weeks falling in love with names that are already trademarked, taken on .com, or blocked on social. Generic AI chatbots suggest clever words but never check USPTO, registrars, or @handles. Manual clearance means tab-hopping across tmsearch.uspto.gov, GoDaddy, Instagram, and spreadsheets — hours per shortlist, with legal risk if something slips through.

  • Trademark conflicts discovered after you've printed business cards
  • Perfect .com already registered or listed at premium pricing
  • Social handles taken on X, Instagram, or TikTok
  • Names that sound fine in English but fail in other markets

How we solve it

FAQ

Startup naming & clearance questions

What makes ClearedName different from ChatGPT or Namelix?
ClearedName is a clearance-first naming pipeline, not just a brainstormer. Every name is checked against live USPTO trademarks, .com domain availability, and social handles before you see it. Generic AI tools suggest creative words but cannot verify legal or registration availability in real time.
Does ClearedName search the USPTO trademark database?
Yes. ClearedName queries the live USPTO federal trademark database via tmsearch.uspto.gov with exact, fuzzy, and phonetic search strategies. Matches are scored for similarity and mapped to risk levels so you can avoid conflicts before launch.
Can I check if a .com domain is available?
Yes. ClearedName checks .com availability through registrar APIs (GoDaddy, WhoisXML, Domainr) and DNS pre-screening. You'll see whether a domain is available, taken, or premium-priced before you commit to a name.
What social platforms does ClearedName check?
ClearedName verifies handle availability on X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, GitHub, GitHub Organizations, and LinkedIn — seven platforms in one pass per name.
Is ClearedName a substitute for a trademark attorney?
No. ClearedName is a screening tool that helps you eliminate obvious conflicts early. Before filing or launching, consult a trademark attorney for a formal clearance opinion.
Who built ClearedName?
ClearedName is built by Jaxily, a product studio focused on tools that help founders ship faster with less risk.
