The Comprehensive Trademark Search Process

LegalZoom's Comprehensive Trademark Search is personalized to uncover possible trademark conflicts before you file for federal trademark registration. Below is a detailed description of how our process works:

  1. Complete our easy online questionnaire.
  2. We develop a personalized search strategy.
    Your proposed trademark undergoes a comprehensive search strategy to uncover any marks that are similar to yours, including those with different spellings. Depending upon which package is selected, the search may include:
    • Federal and state trademark databases
    • Canadian and European trademarks
    • Corporate names from 49 states (not including Delaware) and the District of Columbia
    • Super Pages listings of businesses across the U.S.
    • Common law search of trademarks used on the internet
    • Internet domain names of the eight (8) most common extensions
