Why should I get a Pre-Search before getting an official NUANS Report?

Pre-searches save you time and money by eliminating proposed names with exact matches before you pay for a NUANS Report. Why spend money on multiple reports, conduct pre-searches to help determine name availability. Then once you are more confident the name is available, order your NUANS Report.

How DO I Perform NUANS Pre-searches?

Packages start at $10 for 5, 10 or 25 pre-searches. After ordering, you can perform them one at a time with real-time results viewed directly from your screen. Print each set of results as they are not saved. Pre-searches that are not used are saved in your account for future use.

NUANS Full-Service Pre-Search

If you prefer, you can order the full-service pre-search conducted by our paralegals.

This service does not include a NUANS report.
