Trademark Clearance

Trademark clearance is a legal process to ensure that a trademark you want to use or register isn't already taken or too similar to existing trademarks. It involves researching existing marks, businesses, and trademarks applications to identify potential conflicts. This helps prevent legal disputes, rebranding costs, or inability to use the mark commercially. Essentially, it's a due diligence step to confirm that your chosen name, logo, or brand identifier is unique and protectable before you invest time and money into branding efforts.
