Before introducing a new trademark, the first concern is to find out whether it is available for use at all. Identification of similar trademarks and names with prior rights helps to avoid claims. We strongly encourage our clients, prior to Trademark Registration, to perform a Trademark Search (comprehensive study) so that the client can make a well-founded assessment of his/her registration probabilities.
Why?
Third parties may have older rights entitling them to object to your use and registration. The holder of an older right may take (legal) action against the use of your new name or trademark. Depending on the circumstances, you may have to stop using the name or the trademark. Such conflicts may turn out to be very costly. Preliminary searches informing you of potential objections before your introduction of the new name or the new trademark are your best safeguard against later unpleasant surprises.
An inquiry into potential objections to new trade names should take into account not only trade names included in the Trade Name Register, but also all trademarks included.
