Trademark Availability Search

Ensure Your Brand’s Name is Legally Available

Choosing the right name, slogan, or logo is an exciting step for any business—but it’s also a legal one. Before investing time and resources into branding, you must confirm that your desired trademark is available. A trademark availability search helps you avoid conflicts, rebranding costs, and potential legal disputes. At Isaboke Law, we offer comprehensive searches to ensure your mark is unique and eligible for registration.

Why Perform a Trademark Availability Search?

Performing a trademark search can save your business from costly mistakes and legal battles. Here’s how:

  • Prevents Rejection: Applications filed without a proper search may be rejected by the USPTO if a similar mark already exists.

  • Avoids Infringement Disputes: Using a trademark without proper clearance could result in infringement lawsuits.

  • Helps You Build a Strong Brand: Knowing your mark is truly unique strengthens your position in the market.

Our Trademark Search Process

  1. Preliminary Search: We start by searching the USPTO database for similar marks registered at the federal level.

  2. Comprehensive Search: We go beyond federal records to check state registrations, common-law trademarks, domain names, and social media platforms.

  3. Risk Assessment Report: After gathering search results, we provide a detailed report with legal recommendations. If risks are identified, we can suggest alternative branding strategies.

  4. Legal Opinion and Next Steps: We advise whether to proceed with registration or refine the mark to avoid future conflicts.

Common Challenges in Trademark Availability Searches

  • Similar Sounding Names: Even if a mark is spelled differently, it could still create “likelihood of confusion.”

  • Common-Law Trademarks: Businesses can have trademark rights without federal registration, posing hidden risks.

  • Industry-Specific Restrictions: Some industries have special rules regarding trademarks and brand names.
