A trademark search is a strategy for your business's marketing toolkit. This search, often called a TM search, allows you to discover trademarks already used within the market and obtain detailed information about them. Moreover, it enables you to determine if there are any ongoing attempts to register a trademark that might infringe on your brand name or other related identifiers.
We will thoroughly analyze your brand name, logo, and design to safeguard your unique identity. We compare these elements against extensive databases of registered trademarks. These registries catalogue registered trademarks in their databases. Consequently, if another party attempts to register a trademark identical or similar to your brand identity, they must pay a specified fee before their registration process can proceed. This step is crucial to prevent unauthorized usage and potential infringement of your brand.

Things to Look Out for When Conducting Your Trademark Search Availability
- The first step to conducting a tm search online is making sure you’re searching within the right legal jurisdiction.
- The Indian trademark registry is the governmental agency tasked with registering trademarks and copyrights in India.
- Additionally, if your company has filed for or will file for a trademark in another country, it’s best to search through that country’s trademark office as well.
- Next, it’s important to determine what type of trademark you’re trying to look up. Is your brand name search a word? A symbol? A design? An identifier?
Make sure that you know which type of mark you are looking for before conducting your search! You may also want to consider differentiating between goods and services when searching for trademarks. There are certain types of marks that can only be used on goods (e.g., "Jaguar" can only be used on cars), while other marks are easier to use on services (e.g., "Bose" can be used on headphones). It may be more difficult to find a trademark corresponding with service-based goods, but this shouldn't deter you from submitting an application anyway! When making an application for registration of your mark, make sure that all required information is included: including the full name and address of the applicant and the date.

FAQ's on Trademark Search
A Trademark Clearance Search, also known as a 'clearance search' or 'availability search,' is conducted to determine whether a proposed trademark is likely to infringe upon existing trademarks. This search helps identify any similar or conflicting trademarks that are already registered or pending. It provides valuable information to applicants before they invest time and resources into a new trademark, helping them avoid potential legal issues.
A Trademark Knockout Search is a preliminary search that aims to identify obvious or immediate conflicts between a proposed trademark and existing trademarks. This search is usually quicker and less comprehensive than a full clearance search. It helps applicants quickly eliminate potential trademark options that are likely to face objections due to similarities with already registered trademarks.
While having knowledge of trademark classes can be helpful, it's not always necessary to conduct a basic trademark search. Many trademark offices provide user-friendly search interfaces where you can input keywords, phrases, or the actual trademark itself to initiate a search. However, understanding trademark classes can be beneficial if you want to narrow down your search results to specific categories of goods or services.
A Comprehensive Trademark Search is a thorough and in-depth search conducted by professionals or specialized search firms. It involves an exhaustive examination of trademark databases, including registered, pending, and abandoned trademarks, as well as common law sources. This type of search aims to identify potential conflicts that might not be immediately obvious and provides a more comprehensive analysis of the trademark landscape before filing a new application.

There are multiple reasons to conduct a trademark search, but the two most important are to better ensure the availability of the mark's registration prior to adoption and to help avoid unintentional infringement of another's mark.
A comprehensive trademark search seeks to locate all risks associated with the use and potential registration of the chosen trademark. It also reveals the extent of the trademark's non-registered, third-party use across the country. Finding unregistered but in-use marks is important because a prior user, i.e. the first user, will have common law rights that supersede the later, second user. If the first user never filed for a federal registration, the second user may be able to obtain one, but the first user will have protection in all geographic areas where the first user used the trademark prior to the federal filing by the second user.
There are multiple reasons to conduct a trademark search, but the two most important are to better ensure the availability of the mark's registration prior to adoption and to help avoid unintentional infringement of another's mark. Furthermore, when a company's website is intended to have broad, international exposure, a worldwide trademark search is often useful to ensure that a mark is available for use as a domain name.
