What the film shows
Searches registers, common law and the web for marks that conflict, for trademark counsel
Agents search six registers and the web, generate sound-alikes, translate each name into five languages, read each record's owner and status, and score every name against every conflict on sight, sound, meaning and goods. Counsel works one scorecard instead of a hundred-page report, approves the verdicts and signs the cited opinion.
