          Independent websites with <em>no apparent federal USPTO trademark registration</em>, at any age.
          Local <b>Qwen</b> extracts brand info from each homepage and suggests adjacent sites to crawl; Claude

          <b>Age context:</b> <b>5+ yrs</b> = common-law rights established in the brand's market; approach as
          lead-gen or acquisition targets, not filings. <b>&lt;5 yrs</b> = weaker common-law protection, higher
          urgency for the brand owner to file — genuine squatting risk for them and genuine licensing/outreach
          opportunity for you.
