Trademark Search

trademark-searchIt is very important to search the availability of trademark before applying. It saves the costs and time invested in getting a trademark registered by not applying for an already registered one. If an already registered trademark is applied by someone else, it is bound to be rejected by the ministry.

Trademark is a unique brand name used by companies for as the identity of themselves, their products and services in the market. Customers associate their tastes and choices with this trademark and provide goodwill to it. Getting a Trademark registered is the most important thing for securing this trademark.

As per the Trademarks Act, once a Trademark is registered by an individual or company, no other applicant shall be given the right for its usage. This means, if I apply for an already registered Trademark, the ministry shall reject my application and not grant me the trademark certificate for the same.

Thus, it is important that I don’t start using or apply for an already existing Trademark. But, how do I find out that the trademark I am applying for is already registered or not?

The Government of India has provided access to the database of registered and applied trademarks in India along with the status of their applications, and valid through dates. Trademark Search is the act of searching for the availability of trademark to be applied for registration. Checking its availability means checking whether a similar trademark has already been registered or applied for in the database.

There are many factors governing this search even if it is to be done on the government portal itself. You might leave some loopholes in the search and end up applying for an already registered or applied trademark.
