Existing project names, unresolved clearance
Repository evidence establishes that a name is documented, not who owns a trademark or when commercial use began. The following is an inventory inspected November 9, 2026; it is not a registry search. No application, registration, first use or clearance is verified.
| Name | Project evidence and described activity | Claimed owner, first use and commercial use | Review to complete |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loptr Lab | Canonical ecosystem architecture: creative studio/learning practice | Ownership chain and first use unknown; founder attribution is not trademark-title proof | Exact goods/services, geographic markets, similar marks and asset licenses |
| PIXIE | Existing guide: companion guidance/software context | Owner's creative direction documented; legal ownership, first commercial use unknown | Name/design search, software/services scope, artwork and dependency provenance |
| Daddy's Little Mortis | Existing project page: distinct creative presence | Holder, first documented historical use and commercial use unknown | Confirm actual products/services with project owner; no merchandise business assumed |
| Violet's Revenge | Existing project page: forensic-horror development proposal | Authorship/project record is distinct from trademark ownership; first commercial use unknown | Game-related goods/services, jurisdictions, similar names and third-party assets |
Exercise
Create one record per name: claimed owner and supporting instrument; earliest retrieved dated use (record the exact artifact and date, not an invented historical first); claimed commercial first use and evidence; actual/proposed goods/services; territories; exact name/logo versions; application/registration number, owner, status and official registry retrieval date if verified; similar-mark search terms/results and search date; third-party art/fonts/code and licenses; unresolved clearance decision and reviewer.
USPTO TM-01 recommends broader clearance than an exact federal-register match: consider confusingly similar names, related goods/services, common-law and other relevant sources. Record searches that failed and what scope remains. Registry absence alone cannot establish safety. Copyright in text/art/software and trademark identification of commercial source require separate analysis; registering one does not establish the other.
Thanks Mom is an independent third-party service whose site describes AI-assisted, lawyer-reviewed trademark clearance (TM-02, checked November 9, 2026). This is a vendor claim, not legal authority, an engagement, affiliation or an endorsement of these names. Verify scope, credentials, conflicts, terms and fees before any separately authorized purchase. Nothing is ordered here.
Fictional worked record
Proposal: a fictional studio considers “Lantern Orchard” for a fictional cooperative game. Claimed owner: unknown until documented; proposed territory: US; first use/commercial use: unknown; registry and similarity results: not searched. A creator supplies original logo art but no transfer/license. HOLD launch and registration claims pending name research, asset permission and qualified review. Keep the proposed credit separate from ownership. Do not borrow this fictional name as cleared.
Complete records and a reasoned proceed/hold/choose-another decision in the existing rights envelope. Public submissions use synthetic facts; private agreements remain private. No points or grading engine are added.
