WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT
DECADES OF INDUSTRY EXPERTISE
With 200,000 drugs on the market and more than 1.3 million registered trademarks in Class 5, pharmaceutical naming has never been more elaborate. The difference of one letter could lead to a drug being mistakenly prescribed, resulting in patient harm, or even death. Our senior leadership team, with decades of pharmaceutical branding experience to their name, works directly on your project to navigate these hurdles and deliver creative, screened, and tested names and confidence.
NO NAMING DATABASES
Your brand isn’t cookie cutter, and we don’t utilize a previously concepted bank of names to pull from for your project. Our global team of brand naming experts approaches each project individually, to develop original, inventive ideas that are specific to you, your brand, your drug attributes, and your goals. We’re all about recycling, but not for the work we do for clients.
TRADEMARK PARALEGALS ON STAFF
Our team includes trademark paralegals who screen and vet each candidate we show to you. We want to make sure we are only putting viable options in front of your team and take the necessary steps up front to do so.
TRADEMARK & POCA ANALYSIS
Our paralegals employ a combination of tools that include 268 international trademark databases, along with Pharma-In-Use Legal Prescreen (Corsearch®) and Common-Law Prescreen. Name candidates are also screened with the FDA POCA system to assure that no presented options exceed a 75% threshold in combined Phonetic and Orthographic score.
GLOBAL LINGUISTICS EVALUATION
The world will likely be your stage, and making sure your brand is received well in every market you’ll enter is our top priority. This thorough evaluation is conducted in your 10 identified primary language markets, with in-country, native language-speaking professionals, to ensure the names communicate the correct messaging across all geographic regions.
