How to verify if my business name violates any trademark?

I plan to start a technology and gaming company named “Trinent.” I want to confirm whether this name is 100% legally safe and does not infringe on any existing trademarks, especially “Tencent.” Please check phonetic and trademark similarity risks and advise if I can safely use and register “Trinent” for software, gaming, and tech business in India and internationally.

Before using the name “Trinent,” check its availability on the IP India trademark website. Though it sounds close to “Tencent,” the legal risk depends on similarity in business type and logo design. To avoid future disputes, slightly modify the name or logo and get it registered under the right class with a trademark lawyer’s help. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
