A per-jurisdiction verdict — conflicts, refusal grounds, and recommended actions — with linguistic and cultural risk analyzed in every official language.
Language, geography, and cultural risks checked per jurisdiction — not just similar names.
Each example shows our actual output — verdict, reasoning, risks, and what to do next.

Two reasons get marks rejected: conflicts with existing marks, or the mark itself. Demarka checks both — in every selected market, in every official language.
Examiners don't only look at exact spelling — they catch sound-alikes, transliterations, and look-alike characters across alphabets. So does Demarka.
| Pattern | Example you'd search | What also gets flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Number / letter ↔ word | 7UP · 4EVER | Seven Up · Forever |
| Spelling & phonetic variants | EXPRESS | Xpress · eXpres · Ekspres |
| Common typos | STARBUCKS | Stabruks · Starbukcs |
| Multi-script transliteration | GOOGLE | Gugl · Гугл · グーグル · 谷歌 |
| Cross-script lookalikes | COBA (Latin) | СОВА (Cyrillic) |
| Leetspeak substitution | 2Fast4U | Too Fast For You |
| Word order | StarLight | LightStar |

Some marks get rejected without any conflict — national symbols, descriptive words in another language, public-figure resemblance, or offensive translations. We check all per market.
Flags, emblems, official insignia
Famous people and fictional characters
Sensitive terms, per jurisdiction
Descriptive or deceptive terms
Vulgar, offensive or barred terms
Protected origin and place names

AI does pattern matching and per-jurisdiction risk scoring against examination standards — fast, exhaustive, auditable. AI doesn't make legal decisions. Every plan includes direct trademark-attorney support, so a human is in the loop on anything you're uncertain about. Methodology was designed by a practicing patent attorney; the report shows you the reasoning behind every flag.
Our CTO is a registered patent attorney (Ukraine) with 15+ years of experience in IP and trademark work — the methodology behind every Demarka clearance. The team combines IP law, AI research, and product engineering. See the About page for full credentials and team background.
The report is a clearance analysis, not legal advice. It tells you what conflicts and refusal grounds exist, with reasoning grounded in examination standards. Filing decisions still need a licensed attorney's call — your own counsel, or the trademark attorney included in your plan. The report is built to make that conversation 10× faster: shareable read-only link, full reasoning, verdict and recommended actions per market.
Many customers use Demarka to brief their attorney. The report contains everything an attorney needs to make a filing decision — match reasoning, refusal-grounds analysis, recommended actions, statutory references. Share a read-only link with your counsel. Many find it cuts attorney hours significantly: instead of paying $300/hour for them to do their own search and analysis, they review your decision-ready report and weigh in on strategy.
Those are search-report tools — they expand a keyword search and deliver a PDF list of similar marks, usually for one market in English. Demarka is a clearance: per-market verdict with reasoning, refusal-grounds analysis (national symbols, descriptiveness in every official language, cultural sensitivity), recommended actions, and direct trademark-attorney support. Different output, different price level.
Not yet. Demarka focuses on word-mark clearance — the most common refusal trigger. Logo and image similarity is on the roadmap. If your filing is primarily a word mark, this doesn't change your verdict.
Every relevant national and international registry for the jurisdictions you select — same coverage in every plan. The full list and last-update date are on our coverage page.
30-day refund window if we missed a registered match in a registry we cover for your jurisdiction, as of our database update date (shown in your report). See the Refund Policy for details.
The report is yours indefinitely — accessible whenever you need it. AI chat stays available for 30 days after delivery. Trademark-attorney support is available within your plan's allocation. If you decide to file, the report contains everything needed to brief an attorney in minutes.
A clearance reduces filing risk; it doesn't eliminate it. Risk can still come from common-law or use-based rights that don't appear in any registry, or from third-party oppositions filed after your application publishes. The report flags where registry searches have natural blind spots — we show what we know, and where commercial risk may remain.
