Search for Trademarks

There are a total of 45 classes in the drop-down menu, so you need to understand them first. To know more about the different classes of trademarks, you can utilize the Trademark Class Finder Tool.
3. Step 3. The third box is not mandatory. But if you particularly want to know whether any other trademark contains the exact word or phonetically similar to your selected trademark name, then you can utilize it also.

The term trademark refers to a phrase, word, or symbol that denotes a specific product and legally differentiates it from all other products of its kind. A trademark exclusively identifies a product as belonging to a particular company and recognizes the company's ownership of the brand. Trademarks help you distinguish your products and services from competitors and help identify you as the source. It is a name or symbol that a company uses on its products, and another company cannot legally use that. Startups can build a positive reputation if they have a registered trademark. If a business maintains a good reputation, people are inclined to work with and for them.
