More Research, Fewer Surprises

Getting or reserving the right name for your company in the US can be complicated. Every state has different rules, so issues can arise even after you’ve done brand and trademark homework, even if you already have a reserved name in one part of the country.

Cogency Global will research your name’s availability for every filing on request. You’ll get complete details advising where extra steps are required before we prepare and file on your behalf. When we expect issues, we know who to talk to and how to resolve them.

  • Checking the name for potential conflicts

  • Review of your pre-prepared documents
  • In-person filing for immediate problem resolution
  • Obtaining agency consents when needed
