How accurate is the AI matching?

Our AI is trained on millions of trademark comparisons. Unlike keyword searches, our algorithm instantly detects shapes, patterns, colors, and design elements—finding visual conflicts hidden from traditional searches. This means you catch potential issues in seconds instead of spending hours manually browsing USPTO records—giving you confidence to launch faster.

How do I check if my logo or design is trademarked in the USPTO?

Sign up with your Google account, then upload your logo or design image to LogoVerify. Our AI scans the entire USPTO database (13M+ registered trademarks) using visual similarity — not just keywords — and returns a plain-English risk verdict with side-by-side comparison of the closest matches. This catches the visual look-alikes USPTO TESS keyword search misses.

What do I get back from a search?

A plain-English risk verdict (Safe / Caution / Stop), AI reasoning for the top matches, side-by-side comparison with the most similar registered marks, and DuPont-based risk scoring that factors in mark status, type, and Nice class overlap. No legalese — just the information you need to decide whether to launch, refine, or rebrand.

What file formats are supported?

We accept PNG, JPEG, and WebP files up to 5MB in size. For best results, use high-resolution images with clean backgrounds. Our interactive crop tool helps you focus on the key design elements that matter most for trademark comparison, excluding text or supporting graphics.

Can I search by trademark class?

Yes! You can filter results by Nice Classification (classes 1-45) to focus on trademarks in your specific industry. This helps narrow results to the most relevant potential conflicts. For example, a fashion brand would focus on Class 25 (clothing) rather than reviewing trademarks in unrelated industries.

What do the risk levels mean?

We categorize results into three risk levels to help you prioritize: High risk means strong visual similarity—redesign recommended before launch. Medium risk suggests reviewing the conflicting mark and modifying your design. Low risk shows minor similarities that are worth noting but less concerning. These are screening indicators to guide your decisions, not legal determinations of infringement.

What should I do if my design has a high similarity score?

If LogoVerify flags your design as "High risk", we strongly recommend redesigning the matching elements before launch — the visual similarity to a registered trademark is strong enough that platform takedowns or cease-and-desist letters are real possibilities. "Medium risk" means review the conflicting mark carefully and consider modifications to key design elements to create clear differentiation. "Low risk" indicates minor similarities worth noting — usually safe to proceed, but always prioritize originality to protect your brand long-term.

What should I do if I find a trademark conflict?

If you discover a conflict, don't panic—you have options. For high similarity matches, redesign key elements before launch to create sufficient differentiation. Review the conflicting trademark's Nice Classification to see if you're actually in competing industries. Consider consulting an IP attorney for a professional opinion, especially for high-value products. Most importantly, address conflicts before printing inventory or listing products to avoid costly rebranding later.

How is LogoVerify different from USPTO TESS?

USPTO TESS is keyword-based—you search by term, serial number, or design code. If you don't know the exact term, you won't find conflicts. LogoVerify is image-based: upload your design and AI instantly finds visually similar registered trademarks. This catches shape and pattern conflicts hidden from keyword searches, which is critical for t-shirt designs, logos, and product graphics.

How often is the USPTO trademark database updated?

We refresh our copy of the USPTO trademark database periodically so you're searching against current registrations rather than a stale snapshot. The USPTO updates its own records continuously with new applications, registrations, and status changes; we ingest those updates on a recurring cadence. For high-stakes filings, you can also check the USPTO TSDR directly to confirm the very latest status of a specific mark.

Is LogoVerify good for indie founders launching a SaaS or product?

Yes. Run a quick visual check before committing to a domain, an LLC, or hiring a designer. Most founders catch at least one conflict per brand validation session. Start free with 3 lifetime trial searches (no credit card required); a one-time $9 pack adds 5 more with no subscription — and Pro is $19.99/month for 200 checks a month, less than the cost of 5 minutes of a trademark attorney's time, cancel anytime.

Can freelance designers and agencies use LogoVerify for client work?

Yes — designers are one of LogoVerify's primary user types. Run a clearance check before delivering logo work to clients. This protects your reputation and shields your client from post-delivery surprises. The Pro plan ($19.99/month, cancel anytime) gives 200 checks a month across all your client projects, plus search history and on-demand re-checks of past brands to keep records for each engagement.

Can LogoVerify prevent Amazon or Etsy IP takedowns?

LogoVerify helps you identify potential trademark conflicts before listing products. While we can't guarantee platform decisions, catching conflicts early significantly reduces takedown risk. Many platform complaints stem from registered trademarks, and our tool scans the entire USPTO database to help you avoid these issues before they happen.

Can I check t-shirt designs for Merch by Amazon?

Yes. Upload any design—t-shirt graphics, logos, slogans, illustrations—and LogoVerify scans for USPTO trademark conflicts. This is essential for Merch by Amazon, Redbubble, Printful, Printify, and other print-on-demand platforms where one trademark strike can get your account banned. Check every design before uploading to protect your seller account.

Can I check multiple designs at once?

Currently, you can upload and check designs one at a time to ensure accurate results for each. For sellers with multiple SKUs or product lines who need bulk trademark checking, we're developing a batch upload feature—join our waitlist to get early access. In the meantime, our 5-second search speed makes it fast to check multiple designs individually.

Can I sell fan art on Etsy or Merch if I drew it myself?

Usually no — drawing it yourself doesn't make it safe to sell. Trademark law protects the character or brand itself, not any particular picture of it, so a hand-drawn Pikachu or Mickey infringes just like a copied image. Disney, Nintendo, sports leagues, and other rights holders actively report fan merch, and platforms remove it — 'I drew it from scratch' is not a defense that survives an IP report. Before you list, check whether your design resembles a registered mark: LogoVerify compares your artwork visually against 13M+ USPTO trademarks for free. (This is general information, not legal advice.)

Is the '20% change' rule real?

No. There is no percentage in U.S. trademark or copyright law — not 20%, not 30%, not any number. The legal test for trademark infringement is likelihood of confusion: could buyers think your design comes from, or is connected to, the brand? If the mark is still recognizable, changing colors, flipping it, or redrawing parts changes nothing. The myth survives because sellers repeat it to each other — platforms and courts don't use it. The reliable pre-listing test is the same one enforcement uses: compare your design visually against registered marks, which is what LogoVerify's free check does. (General information, not legal advice.)

Why was my listing removed for IP — and what should I do now?

It means a rights holder (or the platform's automated detection) matched your listing to a registered trademark or copyrighted work and filed a report. First: don't relist the same design unchanged — repeat strikes escalate from listing removal to account suspension. Read the notice to find which registration was cited, then decide: remove or redesign the listing, or dispute it if you genuinely believe it's a mistake (Etsy and Amazon each have an appeal path in the notice). Then check the rest of your shop for the same conflict before the brand's next sweep does — LogoVerify can re-check your other designs against the cited mark's register entry in seconds. (General information, not legal advice.)

Do I need to check the words AND the image in my design?

Yes — they're two separate risks, and clearing one says nothing about the other. Word marks protect phrases and names ('Just Do It'), while design marks protect the visual element (the swoosh). A phrase checker can pass your text while your graphic still matches a registered design mark — and a clean graphic doesn't clear a trademarked slogan in your title or artwork. Most takedown-triggering conflicts on POD platforms are visual, which is the side text-only tools can't see: LogoVerify reads your design's image and any text in it against 13M+ USPTO marks in one check. (General information, not legal advice.)

Is this legal advice?

No, LogoVerify is a screening tool to help you research potential conflicts, not a substitute for legal counsel. Think of us as your first line of defense—we provide data-driven insights so you can make informed decisions before launch. For trademark applications, infringement disputes, or complex legal questions, always consult a qualified IP attorney.

Does this cover international trademarks?

We currently scan the USPTO database (13M+ US registered trademarks). Since the US is the largest e-commerce market and most Amazon/Etsy sellers operate here, USPTO coverage protects your primary revenue stream. International coverage for EU, UK, and Canada is coming soon. If you're launching globally, use our tool for US clearance first, then check regional offices for other jurisdictions.

How is my upload data handled?

Uploads are encrypted in transit (TLS) and stored encrypted at rest. We use your design only to power the search you requested. Search history is retained for 30 days so you can revisit results, then deleted automatically. You can also delete any upload manually from your dashboard at any time. We don't share or sell your designs.
