About Trademark Search & Clearance
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
A trademark search checks the Trade Marks Registry for identical and similar marks — including phonetic and visual similarity and logos — in the classes that cover your goods or services, before you file or spend on branding. A clean search doesn't guarantee registration, but it is the cheapest way to avoid an objection, an opposition or an infringement claim later.
India uses the 45-class Nice classification. Searching only the exact name in one class misses most conflicts: examiners object to marks that sound alike, share a dominant word, or cover related goods in a neighbouring class. Logos are searched by their figurative elements.
We search the IP India database and common-law use (domain names, marketplaces, company names), and give a written opinion: file as is, file with changes, or choose another name.
