Trademark Search for Canada, The USA and World Wide

We have extensive experience in the field of trademark searching.  We can help you identify potential conflicts with any type of trademark, including logos, design marks, word marks, trade names and service marks. 

Types of Trademark Searches We Provide:

Clearing Search – this is a simple trademark search which provides you with a simple yes or no answer as to whether or not a particular word based trademark has already been registered or applied for.  This is a quick search which we can often conduct during the course of a consultation.  These searches are usually limited to word searches in the United States and Canadian trademark registers.

Detailed Search – We perform detailed trademark searches when asked for by a client.  While detailed searches do take longer and are more expensive than simple clearing searches, they are a wise choice if you intend to introduce a new trademark into the market.  A detailed search, being relatively comprehensive, can help you or your company avoid possible trademark disputes by making you aware of similar trademarks (either registered or common law).  Detailed searches are quite comprehensive.  They include a search of registered and applied for trademarks, business names, business registrations and common law trademarks.  In the case of detailed searches in the United States, they also include a search of state trademarks.  Detailed searches can be ordered for Canada, the United States and Europe.

Logo Search – We can also perform searches for potentially conflicting logos and design marks.  These searches can help you ensure that your design mark is as distinctive and strong as possible.

Competitive Trademark Search – We can also provide you with a list of any trademark registrations or applications which are owned by your competition.  This type of information can assist you in formulating a trademark strategy to help you maximize the value of your own trademarks while at the same time avoid possible conflict with your competitors.
