BrewClear

Every week, thousands of craft breweries, distilleries, and wineries pick a name, get it TTB-approved, print the labels — then get a cease-and-desist because nobody checked if the name was already trademarked or already in use on a federally approved label somewhere else. BrewClear checks both before it costs you a rebrand.

Why this exists

TTB label approval (COLA) has nothing to do with trademark clearance — the government will happily approve two different producers using nearly the same product name, because that's not what TTB checks for. The result: a name change after cans are already printed, which is a real and common cost in this industry. The one tool built for this (Sovos ShipCompliant LabelVision) is enterprise software sold to compliance departments, not something a 12-person brewery signs up for with a credit card.

How it works

• Tell us your brand or product name when you sign up.
• Every week, we check newly approved TTB labels (beer, wine, and spirits, pulled directly from TTB's own public COLA registry) against your name.
• Every week, we also check newly filed USPTO trademark applications in the relevant classes against your name.
• Something close on either front? You get an email with the details the same week — while you still have time to act, before the labels are printed.
• Nothing close? You hear nothing that week. No noise.

Who this is for

Craft breweries, distilleries, wineries, and beverage brand owners who picked a name worth protecting but aren't retaining a trademark attorney or an enterprise compliance platform to watch for it full-time.
