What is Trademark Search?

A trademark search is a process used to determine the availability and registrability of a particular trademark before filing an application with a trademark office. It involves conducting a comprehensive search to identify existing trademarks that are similar or identical to the proposed trademark. The purpose of a trademark search is to assess the likelihood of confusion with existing trademarks, which could result in potential legal disputes or refusal of registration by the trademark office. A tm search can help you identify trademarks that are already being used on the market and find out more about them.
