TRADEMARK SEARCH REPORTS

attorney who practices exclusively in the areas

your company should always conduct a trademark
search.
Why a Trademark Search
Report?
Adopting, using, and registering a trademark
is a risk. Over 200,000 trademarks were applied
for last year year in the United States and even
more trademarks are used without a registration.
In the United States unregistered trademarks have
almost the same rights and advantages as a federal
trademark.
Quite simply, it would be very costly for your
company to adopt a trademark and then later discover
that another company has been using a similar trademark
for the past ten years and now demands that your
company cease all use of its mark. Always order
a trademark search before adopting, using, or registering
any trademark to avoid this type of scenario.

reviewed by an attorney. This is not true of other
online services that simply provide you the report
and let you guess as to whether to adopt and register
the mark.
Do you know the factors that go into a likelihood
of confusion analysis? Probably not. Do not rely
solely on your judgment on whether your company
should adopt, use, or register a trademark. Rely
