Before filing a trademark application, it is crucial to check whether your proposed trademark is already in use or registered.

Why Trademark Search is Important

Skipping this step can lead to:

• Application rejection

How to Conduct a Trademark Search

You can perform a search through the official IP database. The process involves:

• Searching exact matches

• Checking similar names or logos

• Reviewing registered classes

Limitations of Basic Searches

Basic searches may not identify all potential conflicts. Similar sounding or visually similar trademarks can still cause rejection.
