Pattern Tracker™ is designed to assist Designers and Producers of Fine China, Casual Dinnerware, Crystal Stemware, Crystal Giftware and Flatware in the critical process of selecting a name for a new pattern or item. The service grew out of our Macomber retail reporting service that maintains a history of tabletop product names. The database currently has names for over 13,000 items across five product categories and is expanded each quarter as new vendor items are introduced to the consumer marketplace.

Pattern Tracker™ is not intended to replace trade mark or copyright procedures or their related name searches. However, it should reduce the incidence of selecting a name already in use thus avoiding the expense and time of a formal legal search.

There are two ways you can utilize this service:

1. You can purchase the complete name database on a CD for $1,000. We'll include two quarterly updates at no extra charge. The CD contains the names list in both PDF and Excel formats and contains the following variables:
   • Pattern/Item Name
   • Product Category
   • Brand
   • MSRP (if available)
2. You can email us your list of prospective pattern or item names and we'll prepare a report on each name with the five closest alpha/numeric equivalents. Each returned name also includes:
   • Name of the vendor currently producing or distributing the pattern/item
   • Year introduced (if available)
   • Product category where name currently used
   • Current MSRP (if available)
   • An indication of current sales activity for the pattern/item

   The cost for Pattern Tracker™ on a per name search basis is $50 for the first name report and $25 for each name report thereafter when submitted as a group.
