Before starting a business, or taking the time to try and trademark a company’s logo, it's a good idea to do a trademark search. This can save time and money in the process of getting a trademark (which can take between nine and sixteen months) for a company’s logo, name, or phrase. The last thing a company wants is to spend the resources to trademark something only to find that it is being used by another business.

Prior to filing a trademark application, one may want to perform a trademark search. A trademark search is a useful tool in seeing what is already being used in the marketplace. Before investing valuable time and money into the trademark process, one may want to be sure that there trademark is available and not being used by someone else.

MyCorporation offers a comprehensive trademark search that uses several search strategies in a number of databases. The trademark search report comes in either a large spiral bound book or as a PDF via email, depending on your preferences. The search report you receive shows similar marks used in federal, state and common law databases as well as domain names. The book is a good tool to gauge whether there are any similar marks out there.

Getting a trademark search is one of the best ways to help make sure a company doesn’t attempt to register a trademark that belongs to someone else or is too similar to an existing mark. Contact MyCorporation today and talk to one of our customer service reps about our trademark search service.
