Is Your Brand Name Safe to Move Forward With?

Yes. Our preliminary trademark search is completely free with no hidden fees, no credit card required, and no obligation to use our trademark registration services.

Once you submit your trademark, our team performs a preliminary search for identical and highly similar trademarks in the country where you want protection. We'll then email you our professional assessment and let you know whether your trademark appears suitable to move forward with or whether there are potential concerns you should consider.

Most preliminary trademark search results are delivered within 24 business hours. More complex searches or high submission volumes may occasionally take a little longer.

No. A FREE Trademark Search is an initial assessment designed to identify obvious conflicts and potential risks. The final decision on whether a trademark can be registered is always made by the relevant trademark office after a formal application is filed.

If we identify concerns, we'll explain why and discuss your options. Depending on the situation, you may decide to modify your trademark, choose a different name, or proceed with additional advice. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision before investing in registration.

If your trademark appears to be a good candidate, we'll explain the next steps and can assist you with the trademark registration process if you decide to proceed. There's no obligation to use our services.

A trademark search helps identify potential conflicts before filing your application.

A preliminary search can reduce the risk of objections, refusals, and unnecessary filing costs by identifying similar existing trademarks early in the process.

Our team reviews trademark databases in the relevant jurisdictions and provides practical feedback on potential risks and filing options.

Although a trademark search is handy and necessary to determine if a mark is registrable, the risk and challenge are never eliminated. Performing a trademark search helps identify possible conflicts, though some risks may remain. Find out how to conduct a thorough check before filing.

In the United States or Canada, a newcomer to the search process might expect that it would suffice to check only the records of the USPTO or CIPO. However, one must rely on more than just a Trademark Office database search since registration is unnecessary to obtain trademark rights in the United States or Canada.

A free trademark search is an essential first step. Many valid trademarks exist under common law and may not appear in official databases—check before filing.

Thus, in addition to checking the Trademark Office database, one should check the Internet and different marketplaces, including Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, and company databases, looking for the use of unregistered marks.

Searching common-law marks is not easy and is never cheap since no single source lists every unregistered mark in current use in the United States or Canada. Many potential sources of information could be searched for, and it is not economical to try to explore them all. By way of example, a complete search in the U.S. will cost you $1500.

Additionally, one can only expect some sources to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information when the search is conducted because every database has its limits.
