Mark findingsbrand name audit
Naming · Barcelona

Your brand needs a name. And it needs to be yours

You can spend three weeks making lists, fall for one, and find out in January that it was already registered. Or start here: tell us what you do, we give you names, and we tell you which one you actually get to keep. Before you commission the logo, not after.

How it goes

Three steps, and you can get off at any of them

01

Tell us what you do

One line is enough. If you already have candidates, send them over. If you have none — which is the usual case — we propose twelve and you pick the three that sound most like you.

02

We tell you which ones are yours

We look at who has that mark registered and for what, which domains are free, which names sound far too close to yours and what it means in German. In two days you know which one to carry on with. €190.

03

And if you are serious, a lawyer signs it

When an identity, a shop and five years of your life are going behind that name, it is worth having someone answer for it in writing. The firm we work with does that, on their letterhead. €890.

What you get

A document you can show people

Not an email saying “this one yes, this one no”. A PDF with each name, what was found, where and when, and the source of every fact. Good enough to decide with, to convince your partner, and for your lawyer to check without taking our word.

Why a Google search is not enough
GermanyA mark registered in Munich can stop you in Barcelona, and it does not turn up in a Google search. We look in some seventy offices, not just the Spanish one.
The .comA free domain proves nothing. What gets registered and defended is the trade mark, and it runs on a different track. We look at both and tell you which one is going to give you trouble.
Two daysThis is not a three-week project and not a meeting. You write on Tuesday and by Thursday you know which name to carry on with.
Who we are

The people who name it and the people who defend it, for once at the same table

Mark Findings comes out of Barcelona, from inside a branding agency that has spent years naming brands. The opinions are signed by a trade mark practice that works with us.

It sounds like a detail and it is not. Normally the agency hands you three proposals, you fall for one, and the lawyer turns up months later to say that one in particular is a problem. Here both look at the same thing before you spend the money.

Which is why there is a line we do not cross: we tell you what is out there, with the source and the time. Whether that name can be registered is said by the firm, in their document, with their signature. Anyone promising you that for €190 is selling smoke.

We tell you what is out there; we do not tell you whether you can register it. That is signed by the firm, in a separate document, and covers Spanish, European Union and international marks.

Free

No candidates at all yet?

Write what you do the way you would say it to someone in a bar and pull twelve names to get unstuck. They are built here in your browser and they are yours: we do not store or reserve them. What it does not do is look at registered trade marks, which is the part that decides.

This looks at domains, not trade marks. A free domain is the easy good news; a registered trade mark is what forces you to change your name six months in.
Questions

What people ask before paying

Will you tell me whether I can register the name?
No, and be wary of anyone promising that for €190. We tell you what is registered, where and for what, with the evidence so you can check it. Deciding whether your name is registrable is a professional judgement someone signs and answers for: that is the €890 level, and it arrives in the firm's document, not ours.
I already have my name. Is this any use?
It is the most common case. Send it over and we tell you what sits behind it before you commission anything. You can send up to three and compare them.
What if I like none of the names you propose?
Tell us roughly where you want to go and we propose again. The checking is done on the three you pick, wherever they came from.
Why pay when there are free generators?
Because a generator gives you names; it does not tell you which ones you can use. And the ones that do check something are American: they screen the US register and the domains. None of them covers the Spanish and European registers together, which is where you will actually be stopped.
Do you use artificial intelligence?
Yes, and we say so at checkout and on the first page of the report, as the European rules require. The data is not invented by a model: it comes from public registers and each item carries where it came from and when. If a source does not answer, we say so.
Can I get a refund?
The work starts the moment you give us the names, so at checkout you waive the fourteen-day withdrawal right, as the law allows for a service already performed. If it comes out incomplete or with our own errors, we redo it or refund you.
Does it expire?
Yes. The registers change every week, so every data point carries its time and the document carries a date. A six-month-old one is context, not a check.

Changing your name six months in

Redoing the identity, letting the domain go, telling your customers you are called something else now. It is expensive, it is slow and it is embarrassing. And it is avoided in two days, before you commission the logo.
