Advantage
Comprehensive reports which
utilize cutting edge technology and proprietary
databases. Each report looks for similar sounds,
appearance and meaning and includes all possible
phonetic variations including foreign translations.
Since trademark law is based on likelihood of
confusion, exact searches or searches conducted
using only a few variations are not useful.
Full time experienced researchers. All of our searches are conducted by experienced
researchers directed by trademark attorneys
to ensure correct search strategies are
used resulting in comprehensive results.
Free attorney review of
the trademark report results, by our experienced
in-house trademark attorneys. Our attorneys
are experts in the trademark field.
Over 15 years
of research experience with a proven
track record. Started in 1995 in Woodland Hills,
California, Trademark Center has conducted over
20,000 research reports. We are the experts
when it comes to trademarks.
