Nomeco

Nomeco is a portmanteau of "nomenclature" and "company." It refers to a business or organization, often but not exclusively in the pharmaceutical, chemical, or related industries, that specializes in the creation, management, and maintenance of naming systems and product nomenclature. Nomeco services typically include the generation of new names for products, ingredients, or compounds, ensuring regulatory compliance of these names, and managing existing naming databases. The field requires expertise in linguistics, regulatory affairs, trademark law, and the specific scientific or technical area related to the products being named. The goals of a nomeco include creating names that are memorable, distinctive, protectable as trademarks, and compliant with applicable regulations, while also avoiding potentially misleading or offensive connotations. Nomenclature services offered by a nomeco may be sought during various stages of product development, from early research and development to commercial launch.
