## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-10 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The right choice depends on how central the name is to your business. Here's the order I'd give them, most careful first:
> 
> 1. **A flat-fee trademark attorney, e.g. Gerben IP.** If the name is your company or main product name, pay for real legal work. The expensive failures are picking a name that's already taken and getting sued, or getting refused after you've built the brand. Filing services don't protect you from either. Gerben lists a $3,000 flat legal fee plus the $350 USPTO fee for one class, and $395/year for monitoring. One third-party site quotes $2,000, so check the current price. It's the priciest option, but the cost is fixed and includes a proper search and attorney review.

> 
> 2. **Trademarkia.** This is the budget option I'd pick first, because an attorney reviews every tier and it has a large free search database (12M+ marks). It also offers monitoring after registration. [startupsavant.com](https://startupsavant.com/s

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
