Claude brainstorms names, you search the official USPTO database for conflicts yourself, check domain availability, and file through a service such as Trademark Engine or with an attorney. Not legal advice.
Independent review. IonBin has no partnership with any tool on this page and was not paid for this page. Our evaluation is our own, based on public documentation and our research. Product names are trademarks of their owners and are used for identification only. How disclosure works.

Not advice
IonBin provides general information and software comparisons, not tax, legal, accounting or financial advice. Tax and legal rules vary by situation and jurisdiction; consult a qualified professional (CPA, enrolled agent or attorney) before acting.
AI tools can make mistakes. Verify every figure against the original documents and official IRS or state guidance before filing or signing.
Redact Social Security numbers, account numbers and EINs before uploading documents to any AI assistant, and check its data-retention settings. Upload originals only to the filing or signing software.
Requirements vary by state. File through official sources such as the USPTO trademark search and your state’s Secretary of State site.

Starter prompt
Goal: Avoid falling in love with a name you can’t use. Tools involved: Namecheap. Your part: generates name options against your positioning; checks domain availability for each finalist (domains_check_availability). Work step by step, show me each draft or proposed change, and wait for my approval before anything is sent, published, signed, filed or changed in a live system.

Computed from the MCP and API steps only: "Confirmed" needs the tool's docs to name the platform and the platform to support the connection. Browser, upload and human steps work from any platform.
What we checked
USPTO search. The USPTO’s trademark database is the official place to search for conflicting marks. A search there is a first pass, not a clearance opinion.
Namecheap MCP is at https://mcp.namecheap.com/mcp, and Namecheap has verified it with Claude. Tools include domains_check_availability, domain_register (which buys a domain with your saved payment method or account funds) and domain_purchase_link (a link where you pay on namecheap.com). Which tools work depends on the access you approve when you connect.
Trademark Engine lists a Basic package at $49 plus filing fees (checked 2026-10-17) and says licensed trademark attorneys review applications. It has no MCP server, so you file in the browser.
Set it up
Give Claude your positioning and ask for 20 names with a one-line rationale each.
Cut to five finalists and search each one in the USPTO database yourself.
Ask Claude to check domain availability for the survivors through Namecheap MCP.
Register the domain yourself, and file the trademark through Trademark Engine or an attorney.
This is not legal advice. For a name you plan to build a business on, a trademark attorney’s clearance search is worth it.
