Trademark Clearance Searches

A trademark clearance search is an examination conducted to determine whether a desired trademark—like a brand name or logo—can be legally used without infringing on existing trademarks. This process involves searching databases to identify similar trademarks already registered or in use. By assessing potential conflicts, businesses can avoid legal disputes and costly rebranding in the future. It's a crucial step before launching a new product or service, ensuring that the trademark chosen is distinctive, protectable, and legally safe to use within the desired market.
