The Problem
A client wants to launch a brand. Before the marketing spend, you need to clear the mark — likelihood of confusion against prior registrations, distinctiveness assessment, NICE class mapping, dilution risk for famous marks, Lanham Act §2(d) / EU Reg. 2017/1001 / OAPI / TRIPS implications. A full clearance report is a 2-day project across 4 databases.
The Solution
Lawra Trademark Clearance produces a structured clearance memo: likelihood-of-confusion analysis (DuPont factors + Sleekcraft), distinctiveness scoring (Abercrombie spectrum), NICE class recommendation, dilution-risk flag for famous-mark proximity, and a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction registrability prediction.
Key Features
Multi-jurisdictional engine — USPTO, EUIPO, INPI Brasil, IMPI México, ONAPI RD, INDOTEL (for marks tied to telecom services).
DuPont + Sleekcraft factor analysis — surface the 8-13 confusion factors applicable to the mark.
Abercrombie distinctiveness — generic / descriptive / suggestive / arbitrary / fanciful, with examples and case-law anchors.
Output formats — clearance memo (per-jurisdiction), red-flag scan (compact), board-summary (executive view).
