Trademark Search

Intellectual Property Law - Trademark Search

Definition:

A trademark search is a thorough search of registered and trademarks already in use. It is a search on a potential trademark, to assure that identical trademarks have not been registered in the U.S and abroad, including words that sound alike, foreign translations and phrases. Trademark search locates identical trademarks in all goods and services, as well as "confusingly similar" trademarks.

Consequences of Trademark Searches:

Planning to open a new company or introduce a new product is a difficult process, especially when it comes to trademark laws. Having a trademark search prior to printing brochures and creating advertisements can help you over come any obstacles that may come up along the way. Failure to conduct a trademark search and investing time and money to a trademark you've come up could result in someone else owning the trademark and bringing trademark infringement claims upon you.

What a Lawyer can do for you:

If you have come up with a trademark, hiring a trademark search lawyer could ensure the trademark is not taken. Working with a trademark search lawyer can also get you a legal opinion by the attorney regarding legally safe trademarks, which will protect you if someone sues you later for using the trademark.
