What Is a Trademark Search?

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.

How to Conduct a Trademark IP India Public Search?

Trademark searches are especially important if you are searching for a trademark that is registered with the trademark registry. But before you start your search, it's important to know how to conduct a trademark search online. There are many different ways in which you can conduct a tm search, but below are two of the most common ways:
  • Searching for a trademark online If you’re looking for information about an existing trademark, conducting an online search is by far your best option

When looking for a trademark public search company, consider the following criteria:
  • Expertise: Make sure the company has experience in more than one industry and specialty so they can provide accurate results across different fields.
  • Cost: Make sure the company charges a reasonable fee that’s competitive with other agencies.
  • Time frame: Find out what their turnaround time is so you know how long you’ll have to wait for your results.
  • Results: You want to find a reputable company that provides reliable results so you can be confident your potential trademark will be protected from infringement

An online trademark name search on the trademark registry can also be done on the Indian trademark database link. The trademark registry will then perform the search and send a report of any trademarks that are similar or potentially conflict with your trademark. When performing a TM public search, a company should consider the following four steps:
  1. 1.Determine whether or not they should file for a trademark.
  2. 2.Understand what type of trademark they need.
  3. 3.File an application with the trademark registry.
  4. 4.Protect their intellectual property.

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.
