Our Search services
Creative Insight has long-standing experience of conducting trademark searches. We will ensure that the correct search criteria are used to locate any confusingly similar trade marks and that the correct classes have been searched. Our comprehensive resources include Marquesa, the most advanced trademark search database available, which covers designs, logos and names.
We provide you with a full search report, with guidance relating to any existing trademarks that we feel are either identical or confusingly similar to your proposed trademark. We can also advise on how you may be able to overcome potential conflict as follows:
- Find suitable NICE class(es) for goods or services.
- Look for direct or near conflicts in registered UK and EU Community word trade marks.
- Supply all the filing and procedural information for registration throughout the world.
