When should I do a trademark search?
23-05-10For trademark searching to be effective, you must have a couple of trademarks you are interested in. You also have to have an idea of what you will be using the mark for and what class of goods or services you are interested in. Finally, you should know what jurisdiction or country to protect your trademark in. It is also advisable to complete a trademark search before you file for protection. A delay in filing a trademark means that the time frame between the time you searched for and the time you filed the trademark leaves room for others to have filed the trademark.
