Components of a Trademark Search Report
A trademark search report consists of three key components that help individuals and companies make informed decisions about their trademark registration process.
Firstly, a comprehensive search of existing trademarks is conducted. This involves a thorough review of registered and pending trademarks, as well as common law trademarks and business names.
Secondly, an analysis of potential risks and conflicts is included in the report. This analysis identifies any existing trademarks or pending applications that may conflict with the proposed mark.
Finally, the report provides a recommendation for trademark registration based on the findings of the search. It advises on the distinctiveness of the proposed trademark and its potential resemblance to existing trademarks in the same sector.
