A complete Basic report, run on September 16, 2026 for coffee roasting; coffee shop and cafe services. Nothing on this page is written for the website. Every number, row and paragraph below is read out of the report itself.
The score answers one question: would the USPTO register this name for these goods? It is a registrability screen, not a clearance verdict, and it is built from two things read together. How distinctive the name is on its own, and how close the marks already on the federal register are. A score of 1 is the bottom of the scale. It means the report found something that would very likely end the application as filed, not something to argue about at the margins.
The deciding factor was a conflict on the register: SOLSTICE, registered in Class 43 for Restaurant services, rated high risk.
Web findings, state business records and domain results never move this number. They are reported as information, lower down, because an examining attorney searches the federal register.
The search returned 18 marks, 1 of which was rated medium risk or above. Each row carries the risk rating, the status on the register, the owner, the class and the exact goods and services the registration covers.
The goods column matters more than the class number. An examiner compares the identifications, so two marks in the same class can be unrelated and two marks in different classes can collide. The same name in a different industry goes into when that happens.

A list of hits is not an analysis. The report writes up every mark it rated medium risk or above, comparing the marks as wholes and saying how the goods relate, which is the part that decides whether a close name actually matters. The one it wrote up here:
registered, Class 43, owned by CAPTIVATE HOSPITALITY GROUP, LLC. Goods and services: Restaurant services.
The applicant's mark "SOLSTICE ROASTING" and the cited mark "SOLSTICE" share the word "SOLSTICE." However, the applicant's mark adds "ROASTING," which specifies the nature of the services, but does not significantly differentiate it due to the shared dominant term. The goods and services are closely related because coffee shop services are a type of restaurant service. Given the nearly identical marks and related services, there is a high likelihood of confusion.
Distinctiveness decides how easily a name registers and how much it protects once registered. This report placed SOLSTICE ROASTING in the suggestive band, with strong protection.
Hints at a quality and takes imagination (COPPERTONE, GREYHOUND). Ordinarily needs no proof of acquired distinctiveness; other grounds can still apply.
Words in the name that also appear in the goods: roasting. Wording that names what you sell is weak matter, and it is discounted when the marks are compared.
The distinctiveness spectrum explains the five bands and why the rung depends on the goods rather than on the word.
A name can be refused with no competitor involved at all. This report raised one ground:
The report judges the grounds a name and its goods can show on their own. Grounds that depend on how the mark is used, such as ornamental use and the specimen, cannot be screened from a name and a goods description, and the report says which ones it did not screen instead of implying it checked everything.
This is the section most search products leave out, and it is the one that tells you what the result is worth. The report names the classes and every term that was sent to the register, so nothing is claimed that was not run.
Sound-alikes run against the register: solstice roastings, SOLSTIS ROASTING, SOLSTIZ ROASTING, SOLSTIC ROASTING, SOLSTIK ROASTING, SOLSTIKS ROASTING, SOLSTIX ROASTING, SOLSTIK ROAST, SOLSTIX ROAST, SOLSTICE BREWING, SOLSTYCE ROASTING.
Meaning-alikes run against the register: SOLAR ROASTING, SUN ROASTING, EQUINOX COFFEE, SUNRISE ROASTERS, DAWN BREWING, SUNBEAM CAFE, SUNSHINE COFFEE, DAYBREAK ROASTING, SUNBURST CAFE, SUNSET ROASTERS.
Searching sound-alikes and meaning-alikes is the part an exact-match check misses, and it is where most real conflicts are found. A name is refused for resembling an earlier one, not for copying it. How similar is too similar covers where that line falls.
A Basic report covers the federal register. The Expert sample shows what the deeper research adds.
Every report carries this, and it is not boilerplate. A search can prove a name is a problem. It cannot prove a name is safe, because rights can exist without appearing anywhere searchable.
LaunchTime IP is software, not a law firm. No attorney reviews an individual search, and a report is not legal advice. The levels of trademark search explains where an automated screen sits against a full clearance search and a written opinion.
