Screen your candidate names before the agency does
Enter up to ten names, the INN and where you will file. Name Checker screens each one against the EU and national registers, trade marks, WHO INN stems and the EEA languages, and ranks them with the rule, the match and the source behind every finding.
Up to ten candidates, each screened on its own and ranked beside the others.

Find the objection before the assessor writes it.
A name that reaches a regulator with an identical product on the register, a stem it should not carry or a word that means something in Czech comes back with a question. Name Checker runs those checks on the shortlist, so what you file is the name that survived them.
Conflict, likely objection or possible issue. With the rule, the match and the source behind each.

A verdict you can argue with.
Start with the overview. Open a name to see the nearest match, the rule it breaks, the mark that could oppose it and how it reads in each language.
Names by legs All 30 EEA states and the centralised procedure
Built to over-flag rather than miss.
Every finding carries its tier, the wording of the rule it applies and the test it meets, so your team and your counsel can see how far to trust it.
Breaches a binding rule by the document's own test. An identical name on the register, a banned qualifier.
A regulator would reasonably object. A near-identical name on the same substance, a WHO stem in the invented segment.
A regulator might raise it on the widest reading. A withdrawn name a few letters away, a dictionary word in one language.
Each finding also says whether the rule is mandatory or advisory, and whether it meets the document’s own test, the screen’s threshold or the widest reading. What the screen cannot see, such as pending national applications, it lists as a manual check.
Every finding links back to where it came from.
The report records which register revision it read and when. Recheck a shortlist later and it shows only what changed since: new names, new marks, a verdict that moved.
Registers and rulebooks
EMA's Article 57 product data, the Union Register, the HMA MRI index and each authority's naming guidance, with the revision and date the screen used.
Trade marks, INNs and languages
The trade mark database by office, the WHO INN and stem lists, and dictionaries and pronunciation across the EEA languages.
A report for counsel
A Word report and a link to the check. Every match carries its scores, every rule its source document.
