How to use a Trademark Search Tool?


  1. Step 1. Type the brand name or trademark that you want to register for your business in the first search box.
  2. Step 2. Select the Industry type or Class under which your business falls like Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Machinery, and others. 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.
  4. Step 4. Click on the search icon. You will get all the information related to the searched trademark.

The following data will be shown to you:
  1. If the trademark has not been applied for registration in your selected class, then it will be displayed as, “Your Trademark” IS AVAILABLE FOR REGISTRATION PROTECT YOUR BRAND BEFORE IT’S REGISTERED.
  2. If someone already applied for registration of the selected trademark, then you will be shown all the information related to the status of their Trademark Registration. You might be shown different statuses like Abandoned, Removed, Registered, Opposed, Refused, Withdrawn, and Objected.
  3. Additionally, information such as logo, applied date, application number, TM name, and user update will be shown there.
  4. One important aspect of Trademark Registration is that you can apply for any name/word already registered but in a different class.

What is Trademark Registration?


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.
