About Sphere
Sphere helps founders and companies check whether a brand name is likely to cause legal trouble — before they spend money filing, launching, or building around it.
What Sphere Does
Sphere is a brand conflict checking tool. It uses AI to scan global trademark databases and flag potential clashes with existing registrations — so you can spot problems early, before they become expensive.
Run a free conflict check. If the results show risk, unlock a detailed report for a deeper breakdown. If the risk is real, we can connect you with an IP attorney who can advise on next steps.
Who It's For
Sphere is built for anyone who needs to check a brand name before committing time and money to it.
How It Works
1. Free Conflict Check
Enter your brand name and jurisdiction. Sphere scans trademark databases and returns a risk summary in seconds.
2. Detailed Report
Unlock a full risk report with specific conflicts, similarity scoring, and legal recommendations for a small fee.
3. Attorney Handoff
If the risk is medium or high, request a consultation with a vetted IP attorney who can help you decide how to proceed.
Why It Matters
Filing a trademark without checking for conflicts first is one of the most common — and most expensive — mistakes founders make. A rejected application wastes filing fees. A post-launch dispute can mean rebranding, pulling packaging, reprinting materials, and starting legal proceedings.
Early conflict checking can save thousands of pounds in wasted filing costs, design work, packaging, launch spend, and legal fees.
Sphere does not guarantee that a name is safe to use. No tool can. But it gives you a fast, affordable way to surface potential problems before you commit — and a clear path to expert help when you need it.
For Larger Teams
For companies managing multiple brands, expanding into new markets, or evaluating licensing opportunities, Sphere can support deeper brand review and clearer decisions around expansion — without losing sight of protection.
If your team needs more than a single check, get in touch. We are happy to discuss how Sphere can fit into your workflow.
Current Focus
Sphere is focused on doing one thing well: helping people check brand names for potential trademark conflicts before they file or launch.
We are improving the accuracy of our conflict checks, expanding jurisdiction coverage, and making it easier to go from a risk result to an attorney consultation when the situation calls for it.
