Before using and registering your trademark, we recommend conducting an investigation to ensure its availability and assess any potential negative associations or linguistic challenges in foreign languages. Markeys conducts various types of searches, including a complimentary identical trademark scan, an availability trademark search, an in-use search, and a linguistic search. Failing to investigate your trademark poses risks such as it already being registered by a third party. Additionally, third-party objections could lead to problems in the (near) future. Moreover, your trademark may lack sufficient distinctiveness.
