Trademarks - Search

All Trade mark applications begin with a search to see if anything similar is registered.
Before investing in a Trade mark application, it is strongly advised by all National Trade mark Offices that you obtain a search to see what, if any, other pending or granted Trade marks are worth reviewing to ensure that your Trade mark registration will be granted if constructed correctly, or if your idea is not worth pursuing as others have got there first.

Depending on your view of the coverage of your idea, you can search one or a number of national or international registries to assess the amount of similar Trade marks. If you wish, you can start this search yourself by using the search function below.

There are many things that need to be considered when registering a Trade mark and these vary depending on the type of brand and funds that are available to the owner. The key is to be clear what protection you need (e.g. are you worried a competitor is developing a similar brand or that a supplier may take your brand for themselves?) and to set out a plan to ensure that you obtain the protection at a suitable time to ensure that your idea is as safe as possible and at a reasonable price given the potential rewards. Before you start on this process you are likely to want to check if the investment is going to be worth it and that is where a Trade mark search will provide you with information on granted and pending Trade marks and their similarity to your ideas.
