Trademark Search — Klientsure

A search before you file tells you whether your brand name is free to register. It saves you months of waiting and the cost of a rejected application.

Why search first

A trademark can be refused if it is the same as, or too close to, a mark already registered or applied for. A search shows you the risk before you spend on filing, printing, or building a brand.

What we check

Identical and similar names in the trademark registry
Marks that sound alike or look alike
Logos and device marks, for logo searches
Marks in the same class and in related classes
Whether your name is too common, or describes the goods, which can be a reason for refusal

What you get

A written report that lists the marks we found
Our assessment of the risk: low, medium or high
A suggestion on the class or classes to file in
Ideas to adjust the name if the risk is high

Our process

1You send the name, or the logo, and tell us what you sell.
2We search the official records.
3We send you the report, usually within one or two working days.
4If it looks clear, we move to filing. If not, we suggest changes.

What a search cannot do

A search lowers the risk but cannot remove it. The examiner can still raise an objection, and someone can oppose your mark after it is published. Marks that were applied for recently may not show up yet.

Common questions

Can I search for free?

You can use the public search on the government site yourself. A professional search looks at spelling variations, sounds and related classes that are easy to miss.

Do I need to search again later?

If time passes before you file, we recommend a fresh check, since new applications come in all the time.

What if my name is taken?

We look at whether the other mark is in a different class, whether it is still live, and whether a change to your name would solve it.

Can you search a logo?

Yes. Send the logo file and we search for similar-looking marks.
