For business owners who want to name a new product, find out what products their competitors are selling or license their brand to a larger company, there is a pretty good, free database in FindOwnerSearch.com, a resource that enables users to access brand and category information.

When you type a brand into FindOwnerSearch.com, that brand and its owner information will be retrieved from over 1 million database entries. Users can also search for thousands of categories with results featuring brands associated with that specific category. For example, the category "magazine" results in thousands of entries. These can be sorted by owner and brand name (i.e. we can see the brand name owner, the address, website and phone - if available - for all of these publications). If you don't mind the liberal use of Adsense and simplistic presentation it's a resource to check out in your spare time.
