How to Conduct a Trademark Search

Before registering your trademark with the USPTO, it’s important to know how to conduct a trademark search to ensure no one else is currently using your mark.

At Gerben Law Firm, one of our biggest challenges is educating clients about the three types of trademark searches that are needed to properly conduct a search. There’s not only a federal trademark search on the USPTO database, but also a trademark search of all 50 state government databases and a Common Law search. Only by looking through all three of these different categories of trademarks can we provide an opinion on whether or not a trademark is clear to use and register.

How to conduct a trademark search:

1. Federal Trademark Search
2. State Trademark Search
3. Common Law Trademark Search
