Complete course on trademark search
Welcome to the Complete course on trademark search - discover whether one trademark can be used and registered in order to protect your business from legal pitfalls.
This advanced course will help you to learn how to do a trademark search on your own. Being able to search for prior registered trademarks and to find out their status is essential when you launch a new brand in the market because this will enable you to avoid the many legal pitfalls.
Every registered trademark gives its owner the right to prohibit somebody else to use it without authorization. This is valid not only for identical trademarks but for similar ones too. In case that such an event takes place the trademark infringer can face different legal challenges - and even lawsuits.
Taking this into account and the fact that nowadays there are millions of registered trademarks around the world such negative outcomes cannot be ignored. One of the ways to stay on safe ground is always to run a trademark clearance search in advance, before launching your brand in the market.
From that perspective, if you are a startup company, an entrepreneur, marketing or brand building specialist, law attorney, paralegal, freelancer, or just a business owner who deals with brands, this course will be of great help to you.
THIS COURSE WILL GIVE YOU IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ABOUT THE WAY YOU CAN DO A TRADEMARK SEARCH by yourself using the official Patent Offices’ databases of the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
You will learn how to implement a TESS search for trademarks in the USPTO database as well as in the equivalent database searching tools for the rest of the above-mentioned countries.
Knowing how to deal with these trademark databases, which target some of the leading economies in the world, will provide you with an additional tool to build good and successful business and marketing strategies for your company.

It will help you to build a strong brand name that can distinguish itself from already registered trademarks
You will be able to find out early registered trademarks that could represent obstacles for the registration of your own trademark before the Patent offices;

Acquiring skills to search for trademarks in official databases can save you money and time as well as give you a clearer view of the chances for your brand name to be registered.
Most of the Patent Offices around the world register trademarks without any prior examination regarding earlier trademark rights. Even in the case of obtaining a trademark registration, this would be no guarantee that the trademark will not infringe on somebody else's rights. In light of this, a preliminary trademark search is critical.
The ability to conduct such searches throughout the brand building process is useful because when you are aware of existing registered identical and similar signs you can easily make changes to your brand name in order to escape conflicts and to create a brand that will have better chances for registration as a trademark.
