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.
The full walkthrough takes under two minutes the first time you run it.
Start at the sign-up page and authenticate with Google. There is no email/password form to fill in, no card on file, and no verification email to chase — Google OAuth is the only login method, so the flow is one click and you are in the dashboard. Your free account includes three lifetime trademark searches with no monthly reset, which is enough to verify a domain shortlist or stress-test a single brand identity before deciding whether you need the Pro plan.
Inside the dashboard, open the search wizard. The first step is the upload zone, which accepts a PNG, JPEG, or WebP file up to 5MB. You can drag the file in, click to open the file picker, paste an image directly from your clipboard, or pick one of the bundled sample logos if you just want to see what a result looks like before committing your own design. After the upload, the crop tool opens automatically: pan, zoom, and trim until the frame contains only the trademark-relevant artwork. Cropping out marketing taglines, photos of products, and decorative borders is the single biggest accuracy lever you control — the AI only sees what you keep, not what you discard.
When you confirm the crop, the wizard moves into the analyzing step. Our AI scans your design against millions of USPTO trademark images, ranks the closest visual matches, and writes a plain-English explanation for why each one matters. Most searches complete in under fifteen seconds.
The results page is built around three layers. At the top, a plain-English verdict (Safe / Caution / Stop) summarises the overall risk, derived from the highest-risk match adjusted by status and Nice class. Below that, the closest matches appear side by side with your upload, each annotated with a similarity percentage, an adjusted risk score, the mark's status (Registered, Pending, Canceled, Abandoned), filing dates, registered classes, and a short AI explanation of why the model paired them. You can drill into any individual match for a full record view and direct links to the USPTO record.
LogoVerify is a clearance screen, not a filing system: TESS or TSDR are the authoritative records for filings, oppositions, and litigation. Use this check before you commit money to a domain, an LLC filing, or a design hand-off — and consult a licensed trademark attorney whenever the result looks Caution or Stop.
