Estimate a statistically based random audit sample for trademark filing work. Adjust the operational assumptions to reflect your matter, policy, jurisdiction, and service providers, then use the supporting results to document a planning scenario. This tool provides an estimate and does not determine legal obligations or outcomes.
The result estimates a statistically based random sample for measuring an exception proportion at the chosen confidence and precision.
Random sampling does not replace risk-based selection. Use the most conservative expected rate of 50% when no defensible prior estimate exists.
For 5,000 records, 95% confidence, a 5% margin, and a 10% expected exception rate, the finite-population sample is approximately 135 records.
The expected proportion affects variance and therefore sample size. If no reliable estimate exists, 50% produces the most conservative sample.
Not after the population becomes large relative to the initial sample. The finite-population correction has less effect as population size grows.
No. The calculated sample is rounded up so the selected precision is not weakened by rounding.
No. It estimates an exception proportion within a margin of error; a zero-finding assurance design requires a different approach.
For the stated random-sample interpretation, use a documented random method. Risk-based additions may be reviewed separately.
