Before registering a trademark, it is crucial to ensure that your chosen trademark is not already registered or in use by another entity. This involves a thorough search in national and international trademark databases to avoid potential legal conflicts and safeguard your investment in the brand.
What Does the Trademark Verification Service Include?
Search in the national register
We check the trademark register of the relevant territory where you wish to apply for protection. For example, if you plan to register a trademark in Bulgaria, we will conduct a search in the register maintained by the Patent Office of the Republic of Bulgaria.
Search in EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) registers
If your trademark is intended for European protection, we will verify it against EUIPO’s databases.
Search in international registers
We consult global databases, such as the WIPO Global Brand Database, to ensure your trademark does not conflict with existing marks worldwide.
Our team combines automated searches using specialized software with manual checks of the relevant registers. This double-verification process ensures maximum accuracy and protection for your trademark.
Why Is It Important to Check a Trademark?
Avoid legal disputes
Applying for a trademark that is identical or too similar to an existing one can lead to costly opposition or cancellation procedures, resulting in financial losses. A prior check helps mitigate these risks.
Establish your commercial identity
A verified and registered trademark ensures that your goods and services stand out in the market. It builds trust with customers and partners, providing you with exclusive rights to use and protect your brand. Only you can offer goods or services under your registered trademark and prevent others from using it.
Save time and resources
Trademark registration takes time and money. If the mark is already registered, a prior check prevents unnecessary costs and effort. If issues arise, our team is ready to assist with alternative solutions.
