At Trademark Allied, our trademark search process means we dig deep into public and private databases to check if your chosen trademark is available. And remember, we don't stop at just "exact matches."

Getting a comprehensive trademark search with us is smart because if your trademark application is too close to an existing one, it might get rejected. Once filed, there's no going back, and the fees for rejected applications can't be refunded. Our thorough search keeps you from wasting time and money on an unavailable trademark.

Our knock-out search pinpoints trademarks that are nearly identical or identical to the one you're interested in. But it's only part of the picture when assessing your trademark's chances. This search doesn't look at brands that are confusingly similar in related categories of goods and services or unregistered trademark uses – those that need a deeper dive.

Trademark Allied offers a common law trademark search that uses special search software to scan various public and private third-party databases. This search helps find possible earlier users of your chosen trademark who might not be officially registered – it's essential to rule out any previous use by someone without a registration.

Yes, with our trademark application service, we always throw in a trademark search performed by an attorney. And if you'd rather have an attorney-led search but plan to handle the application yourself, we offer a stand-alone search service, too.
