International Full Searches

A comprehensive search of your proposed trademark in any of more than 200 jurisdictions. Choose individual countries/registers to search, or select a regional package based on your needs.


PRODUCT USES Use International Full Searches to determine whether your proposed trademark is available for use in the country, register, jurisdiction or region of your choice:

• Assess the strength of a mark for acquisition or licensing purposes.
• Avoid infringement of existing trademarks.
• Support trademark litigation by identifying identical and similar trademarks and domain names that could bar the use or registration of a trademark.

PRODUCT DETAILS Using our unique computerized search system and proprietary trademark databases, or our network of highly qualified foreign associates, we search your proposed trademark against active trademark registrations. We report applications and, for many countries, unpublished applications (status before registration). English translations of goods and services are provided for all non-English searches.
