HOW IMPORTANT ARE TRADE MARK CLEARANCE SEARCHES?
Trade mark clearance searches are very important as they are the first step to determining whether the trade mark you wish to use and register is available to do so. Although we provide a free basic trade mark search facility on our website this free search facility should not be relied upon solely to determine whether a proposed trade mark is available for you to use and register. We strongly recommend that, to avoid any potential conflict between your proposed trade mark and any existing confusingly similar trade marks, that you instruct us to carry out a comprehensive trade mark search on your behalf.
