Trademark search<\/h2>\n\n

The purpose of a professional trademark search is to check whether the use or application of a trademark <\/a>might infringe the laws of third parties. This makes it possible to assess in advance whether your own trademark or designation conflicts with the trademark rights of third parties. <\/p>\n\n

A distinction is made between identity and similarity searches. In an identity search, identical signs are searched for. In many cases, this can be carried out without the help of a lawyer by searching the relevant publicly accessible registers. A similarity search looks for similar signs, as trademark rights also protect against similar signs. This involves searching for both phonetically and visually similar signs. Professional similarity searches use complex algorithms to find as many potentially similar hits as possible. These are then legally evaluated. <\/p>\n\n

When should you carry out a trademark search?<\/h2>\n\n

A trademark search should be carried out before using a sign or immediately before applying for a trademark<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Why should you carry out a trademark search?<\/h2>\n\n

A professional trademark search helps to assess the risk of collision between your own trademark and older third-party trademarks. This allows you to switch to another trademark in good time if the desired trademark collides with third-party trademarks. <\/p>\n\n

You can also prepare for possible conflicts with third parties at an early stage if you still want to hold on to the desired trademark. For example, your own trademark applications can be adapted accordingly and possible agreements with owners of older trademarks can be explored in advance. <\/p>\n\n

A trademark search also leads to greater legal certainty in the long term. Trademark searches are often not carried out for cost reasons and a trademark application is filed on the off chance. However, it is often overlooked that even a successful trademark application without opposition does not necessarily mean legal certainty. Owners of older trademarks can demand the cancellation of a trademark even after the opposition period has expired if it conflicts with older trademarks. Without a search, there is therefore always the risk that your trademark will be successfully attacked by an older law. <\/p>\n\n

In summary, it can be said that a professional trademark search can be used to assess and classify risks. This can prevent damage to your own company. If, for example, it later transpires that your own trademark infringes the laws of third parties, all goods bearing this trademark must regularly be destroyed. The costs of destroying goods and advertising material, including the associated damage to your image, can often be avoided by conducting a trademark search in advance. <\/p>\n\n
