US Trademark Registration Services
Trademark Search

The Patent and Trademark Office does not require a search prior to applying for trademark registration. However, conducting a comprehensive search makes sense. It's very possible that the mark you want to register is already registered or a third party has common law rights to the mark. Conducting a search prevents you from forfeiting the application fee and the preparation fee. In addition, the likelihood that your application will encounter problems is greater if you do not conduct a search.

We offer two types of searches both come with a written attorney analysis:

• US Comprehensive: A comprehensive search which includes a search of the federal state and common law databases and the internet domain database for £275. A comprehensive search is recommended and is the search most of our clients choose.
  
  
• US Clearance (or 'Knock Out') Search: A Federal Search for £175. This is essentially a "Knock-Out" search of the USPTO database for exact matches. This type is most useful in determining the availability of a proposed name when deciding among a number of choices.
