Why 'Available' Doesn't Always Mean 'Safe'

You found "NikeShoesReviews" is available on TikTok. Score? No. Lawsuit waiting to happen.

Just because a platform lets you register a name doesn't mean you have the legal right to use it commercially. Trademark law supersedes platform availability.

How to Check

1. Search the USPTO database (US) or WIPO (Global).
2. Google the name + "scam" or "complaint".
3. Check common law usage (is someone already doing business under this name locally?).

When in doubt, go for unique, abstract names rather than descriptive ones that might infringe on existing brands.
