What Is a Trademark Search?

A trademark search is an important tool in your business’s marketing arsenal. A tm search can help you identify trademarks that are already being used on the market and find out more about them. It can also help you find out if someone else is trying to register a trademark that could potentially infringe on your brand name search or other brand-related identifiers.

We will conduct a comprehensive analysis of your brand name, logo, design, etc. and compare it against various databases of registered trademarks. Registered trademarks are entered into the database by the registrant, which means that if someone else tries to register their own version of your brand identity or another similar mark, they'll have to pay a fee first before it's allowed to go through registration procedures.

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.

Why Do You Need a Trademark Search India?

Trademark searches are not easy. They require a lot of time and effort, which is why many people choose to outsource the process. However, if you do decide to do your own search, keep in mind that it can be more expensive than going through an agency. 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.

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.
