Trademark Search Portal: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use the online database to check if your brand name is already taken before you launch your business.
This portal allows you to search the official database of existing trademarks to see if your intended brand name is already registered.
Who it's for
This service is for anyone planning to launch a brand and wants to check if their chosen name is available for legal use.
What you get
You gain access to a comprehensive database containing all currently registered trademarks. This helps you verify if your brand name is unique or if it conflicts with someone else's existing legal protection.
What it costs you
Using the online search tool is free.
The catch to know
The search tool looks for phonetic matches. This means it identifies names that sound like your chosen brand, even if the spelling is different. You should check various spellings and sound-alike variations to ensure you do not accidentally overlap with an existing trademark.
How to apply
- Access the official online search tool.
- Enter your proposed brand name into the search field.
- Test different spelling variations and phonetic sounds.
- Review the list of existing results to confirm no direct matches exist.
