What is
a search and why have one done?
Before
applying to register trademarks, we encourage you to have a
trademark search conducted. All government departments around the
world, including Australia, take many months to examine
applications and return the results. By having a search conducted
you will know the likelihood of success in a matter of only a few
days.
We will
search the appropriate databases for any conflicting trademarks and
provide you with a report on our findings. We will also provide you
with the best 'next steps' for you and your business, include
recommendations on overcoming any problems that may have been
found, suggestions as to the appropriate 'classes' and any further
information that may be relevant.
You can
conduct your own 'free trademark search' using the registered
trademark database, made available by the trademark government
office. However, without the necessary experience it is often
difficult to obtain accurate results.
We know
of many cases where individuals have conducted their own searches,
believed their name or logo to be 'available' and then received
adverse reports from the Trademarks Office stating that similar
marks exist and essentially 'rejecting' their trademark
applications.
