Trademark Search
A trademark search is the process of checking existing trademarks to determine whether a brand name, logo, slogan, or other mark is already registered or in use. It helps businesses avoid legal disputes, infringement claims, and costly rebranding. By conducting a thorough search—using official trademark databases and common law sources—companies can ensure their proposed mark is unique, protectable, and compliant with registration requirements in the target jurisdiction. This step is essential before filing for trademark registration.
Trademark Search Process
The Trademark Search Process checks existing trademarks to confirm a brand name, logo, or slogan is unique and not already registered. It helps avoid legal issues, protect rights, and improve registration success. This involves searching national and international databases, as well as unregistered marks, to ensure the mark is available before applying.
- Search trademarks in national/international databases
- Check for identical or similar marks
- Assess mark availability and distinctiveness
