Trademark know-how
When Free is enough – and when not
Free is a solid, free starting point: a monthly check of your word mark for exact matches. For full protection, however, that isn't enough in many cases – because most conflicts don't arise from identical names.
The most dangerous cases are the similar ones
Word marks that sound close, are combined or have a related meaning are the most frequent cause of confusion in everyday life. These are precisely the ones Free doesn't detect. Pro checks every week and covers all types of similarity – phonetic, conceptual and combinations of word elements – and additionally delivers the results by email, SMS, Slack, Telegram, webhook or API. For firms and owners of several trademarks there is Enterprise on request.
