Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Swiss trademark and business name search service
What is the added value compared to public registers and AI-powered web search?
Free public registers and AI-powered web search tools only perform simple identity searches. They tell you if the exact same name or logo is already taken. That's useful — but far from enough.
Checkname.ch uses the same trusted sources — the official Swiss Trademark Register, the Swiss Company Register, and comprehensive web searches. But we don't stop there.
Our tool goes much further by applying advanced algorithms that spot confusingly similar names — those that look, sound, or even mean something alike. That's the real risk: names that aren't identical but close enough to cause legal trouble.
This saves you from costly headaches: forced rebranding, product recalls, rejection of your own trademark, and even legal disputes.
Think your name is safe?
"Sun Glow" might be available, but what about "Sunny Glow" in your industry?
Here are some real-life examples where the owner of a similar mark could step in and legally block you from using your chosen name:
- Visual similarity: e.g., Flowr vs. Flower, MEDINETTE vs. MESILETTE
- Phonetic similarity: e.g., Kwik vs. Quick, LIDL vs. LIFEL
- Semantic similarity: e.g., Karizma vs. C@RISMA, X-TRA vs. EXTRA
- Conceptual similarity: e.g., Blue vs. Ecoblue or T-Music vs. Emusic
Domain free? That doesn't guarantee your trademark or business name is safe. Just because a domain is available doesn't mean the name is free to use as a trademark or business name.
The Nice Classification is the international system that groups all products and services into 45 categories, called "classes."
Your trademark only protects you in the classes you choose — and sometimes more than one class applies.
The good news: you don't need to figure this out yourself.
Our AI tool suggests the right Nice classes for your business or product. Just type in what you do, and we'll guide you to the correct classes instantly.
You can perform a single search to get an overview of the number of potential hits for your name.
After this initial free search, you can then select specific names for in-depth analysis and a comprehensive risk assessment.
For larger projects or bulk searches, please don't hesitate to contact us directly to learn more about our enterprise offerings.
Our tool has access to the Swiss Trademark Register, the Swiss Company Register, and web. The system uses advanced search algorithms which have been evaluated and fine-tuned based on the input of trademark professionals and lawyers.
This means a deep analysis that goes far beyond free searches — comparable to what lawyers use. What it doesn't do is replace a full legal opinion.
We give you a clear, easy-to-understand risk assessment based on reliable data, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
For more confidence, we recommend a final review by a trademark attorney. Just contact us at contact@legiqo.com, and we'll connect you with a trusted specialist within 24-48 hours.
Our tool shows you trademarks and company names that are similar to the one you searched. This includes names that look alike, sound alike, or have a similar meaning.
Why is this important? Because even if your name is not identical, these similar names can still create a risk of confusion. That risk could lead to conflicts with existing rights — for example, your trademark or business name being rejected, legal disputes or being forced to change your brand later.
Remember: domain availability doesn't guarantee trademark freedom.
When you upgrade, the tool doesn't just show you similar names — it also analyzes the risk they may cause. It highlights the most important factors and provides a clear written explanation, so you can avoid costly mistakes and move forward with confidence to make smart, informed decisions about your brand.
Our AI, built with input from an IP expert with 15 years of experience, reviews the results and delivers a clear, high-level risk assessment.
That means you don't have to guess how dangerous a conflict might be. You get an easy-to-understand overview that helps you decide: Is this name safe to use, or should I think twice?
Check if the trademark is really in use
If your search shows identical or similar trademarks, do a quick online check to see if they are actively used.
Tip: If a trademark is more than 5 years old and not in genuine use, there may be options to challenge it (non-use defense or cancellation).
Talk to a trademark expert
High-risk conflicts should always be reviewed by a lawyer. We can connect you with an experienced trademark attorney within 24–48 hours. Just contact us at contact@legiqo.com
Think about alternative names
If the risk is too high, exploring other names or modifying your name might save you costly disputes later.
No. While Checkname.ch provides a powerful, automated search and risk analysis powered by AI that gives you an overview over competitors in your industry, Checkname.ch is not a substitute for a professional legal opinion.
We recommend consulting a trademark attorney for a final, comprehensive assessment before you file. Just contact us at contact@legiqo.com and we will provide you with a reference within 24-48 hours.
