Lightfathom Name Report · Sample

Brand Name Check: Saltgrove

Prepared 21 Oct 2026Report ID LF-SAMPLE-0001Engine v0.2 (sample)

Here is what we found for Saltgrove on 21 October 2026. We searched the US and Brazil trademark registers, and the UK register by hand, for exact matches, near-matches and sound-alikes in the classes that fit your description, then checked domains, social handles and app stores. Each of those registers gets a status and a short note on the closest marks. For the EU and international filings, we don’t search ourselves: you get each office’s own search with the name filled in. Where a source could not be reached, we say so rather than report no match.

Preliminary check, not legal advice. Lightfathom is a search and research tool, not a law firm. This report shows what we found in public registers on the date above; it is not legal advice or an opinion on whether you can register or use the name. Please have a trademark lawyer review it before you file or launch.

Data dates. Brazil: INPI open data as of RPI 2910 (13 Oct 2026), plus a manual check of INPI’s public search on 21 Oct 2026 for filings published since. United States: USPTO data as of 21 Oct 2026. United Kingdom (UKIPO): searched by hand on 21 October 2026 using the IPO’s public search; not yet verified. New applications appear in any search, including the offices’ own, only once they’re published.

If any of our data is more than 30 days old on the day we deliver, we say so here, at the top of the report.

1. Bottom line

Overall: High similarity

There is a live mark in Brazil that sounds almost the same and covers software, like yours. The US and UK searches found no mark above our similarity threshold in the classes we checked. We didn’t search the EU or international filings; since you plan to sell in the EU, run the official searches linked below, or ask your lawyer to.

Risk is our score from 0 to 100 for the closest mark in each register we searched: 0 means no similarity, 100 means an identical mark covering the same goods or services.

Verified registers: none yet. USPTO and INPI: searched, not yet verified. UKIPO: searched by hand, not yet verified. A register is verified once it passes our public test.

No close match: no live marks with a similarity score above our threshold in the classes searched. Some similarity: marks similar in sound, look or meaning; worth a lawyer’s look. High similarity: a live mark that is identical or very close, in a related class. Couldn’t check: the source didn’t respond, so we can’t say nothing was found. Each closest match comes from that register’s own entries in the full hit list. Official search link: we don’t search that register; the link opens the office’s own search with the name filled in (EUIPO’s TMview, which also covers EU national offices, and the WIPO Global Brand Database).

2. What you told us

3. The closest marks, in plain language

SALGROVE High similarity

INPI · FX-BR-000417Class 9Registered

Owner: Exemplo Apps Ltda (fictional). It differs from your name by one letter and sounds almost the same when spoken in Portuguese. It covers downloadable software, like yours. This is the mark most worth a lawyer’s look before launching in Brazil.

SALT GROVE FARMS No close match

USPTO · FX-US-090311Class 31Registered

Owner: Example Orchards LLC (fictional). Very similar wording, but it covers fresh produce, which is far from a software app. Low risk in the classes we checked.

App stores: no app named Saltgrove on the Apple App Store. One recipe app with “Salt” in its name in a related category on Google Play; different enough that we list it for context only.

7. Three alternatives

Because Brazil shows high similarity, here are three other names to consider. We ran a quick exact and sound-alike search for each in the same three registers (US, UK and Brazil).
