Abstract

A method includes accessing a markup language information is associated with a brand name. The method further includes applying an algorithm to analyze availability of the brand name on any one of a domain and a social media site. In addition the method includes automatically generating a search result comprising at least one of an availability of the brand name as a user name of the social media site and as a domain name based on the application of the algorithm. Furthermore, the method includes associating the search result with a government information identified in the markup language information. The method also includes presenting the associated search result and the government information on a brand availability page.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

accessing a markup language information of a government registry;

determining which of the markup language information is associated with a brand name;
