Trademark Reality Check

Trademark Reality Check

Before you spend thousands filing, find out what the obvious problems may be—and what deserves a closer look.

This is a focused preliminary review by an attorney, not software and not a filing factory. It is designed for creators, podcasters, broadcasters, performers, and established businesses that care about the name or identity they are building.

Word mark: $100

A preliminary look at the proposed name and the obvious areas most likely to create trouble.

Logo or design mark: $200

Design marks take more manual review because visual similarities cannot be evaluated reliably by name alone.

What you receive

  • A basic review of the obvious trademark landscape
  • Identification of issues likely to require extra time, research, or strategy before filing
  • Practical next-step recommendations
  • Your choice of an audio response, written transcript, or both
  • A free 20-minute consultation if the review uncovers a complication worth discussing

Most responses are delivered within 24 hours. Please allow up to 3 business days. This is not an exhaustive clearance search and does not guarantee registration.

The fee is credited if you move forward

The full $100 or $200 Reality Check fee can be credited toward a future trademark application with Harrison Legal Group. If a broader search is useful, an upgraded search is available: $750 for a word mark or $1,250 for a design mark, with half of that upgraded-search fee creditable toward an application.

If the business or project is not yet earning roughly $10,000, a federal application may be premature—but it is never too early to understand the landscape or learn what would make the brand stronger.
