Searching:

 

Searches are an important and effective tool to determine whether your chosen brand name, logo and/or design image are available for use and registration. Searches detect and identify potentially conflicting pre-existing rights and can help you decide whether to proceed with using/ registering (and investing in) your chosen mark and/or design. We recommend conducting searches as early as possible.
