We offer a free identical trademark search for India (order on our website). Trademark search is really important before you decide whether to file or not as it may uncover a trademark that may be an obstacle to your trademark registration.
While identical trademark search will find an obvious obstacle, a “similar mark” search is highly recommended. While such type of search is free in the US, Canada, EU, UK and Australia, if you would like a comprehensive similar mark search in India, the cost will be $150.
It’s perfectly legal for you to use your trademark without registration. However, if you are using a trademark that is similar to another name that was adopted before you adopted your trademark, you may be liable for trademark infringement.
To minimize the risk of choosing a trademark that’s similar to another name, you should do a trademark search of the Trademark Office database of the country where you plan to use your brand and of the marketplace (check on Internet for similar names usage).
We have paid subscription to Wolters Kluwer professional trademark search software. It’s called “Corsearch”.
