01 / What it does

Every phrase. Every live mark.

Paste listings or slogans. The checker pulls every 1–5 word phrase from your title and from each tag, then matches them against about 4.4 million live USPTO marks in the classes you sell in. Every flag shows the mark, serial and registration number, owner, status and classes, with a direct link to the USPTO's TSDR record.

  • Live USPTO marks
  • Fuzzy matching
  • Class-aware
  • Bulk runs
  • API & schedules

If a listing names its product (shirt, mug, sticker, phone case, tote, pillow, blanket), only that product's class is checked. Marks for unrelated goods stay out of your results. Fuzzy mode also catches spacing variants, plurals and USPTO pseudo-marks.

02 / Who it's for

Built for print-on-demand

For sellers who list dozens or thousands of designs and can't look up every slogan by hand.

  • Etsy, Redbubble, Teepublic and Shopify POD shops
  • Amazon Merch on Demand creators
  • Amazon KDP authors and low-content publishers checking titles
  • Agencies and VAs auditing a catalog before upload
  • Apparel 025
  • Mugs 021
  • Stickers & books 016
  • Phone cases 009
  • +5 classes
03 / Risk levels

Act in seconds

High

Remove or rename

Your phrase is exactly a live word mark for your product's class. Example: "Hakuna Matata" on a t-shirt matches Disney's reg. 2700605.

Medium

Review first

A stylized or design mark with the same wording, a spacing or plural variant, or a common word one owner has registered many times.

Low

Usually fine

An ordinary dictionary word that happens to be registered, or only the start of a longer mark. Hidden unless you ask for it.

A high flag does not mean you will get a takedown. Marketplaces often remove listings when an owner complains, without any court ruling, so treat high as remove or rename unless a trademark attorney has advised you otherwise.

05 / Disclaimer

Not legal advice

This is an automated screening tool. It compares your text with the USPTO's live federal trademark records. It does not cover state or common-law trademarks, copyrights, design patents, foreign marks, trade dress, logos or images, or the right of publicity, and it does not judge likelihood of confusion or fair use. No flag does not mean a phrase is safe. A flag does not mean you are infringing.

Data is compiled from USPTO public-domain trademark bulk data. Each result shows the date the data runs through (currently September 30, 2026). Recent filings may be missing, so check the TSDR link before you rely on a result.

Etsy, Amazon, Merch on Demand, KDP, Redbubble, Teepublic and Shopify are trademarks of their owners. They are named only to describe compatible listings. VNCNT Labs is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by them, Apify or the USPTO.
