Core Trademark Search Service Areas

Preliminary Trademark Availability Assessment



An early-stage check to identify obvious conflicts before investing further.

Helps to:

  • Flag high-risk marks quickly
  • Avoid unnecessary filing or branding costs
  • Decide whether a full clearance search is warranted

Comprehensive Trademark Clearance Search



A detailed search and similarity analysis covering:

  • Identical and similar word marks
  • Phonetic and conceptual similarity
  • Relevant Nice classes and related goods/services
  • Registry refusal patterns

Search scope is tailored to the business context and filing intent.

Device Mark & Logo Search



For visual marks, searches include:

  • Visual similarity assessment
  • Dominant element analysis
  • Classification-based overlap review

This is essential where visual identity is a core brand asset.

Trademark Search Analysis & Risk Opinion

  • Likelihood of examination objections
  • Probability of opposition by earlier rights holders

Risk outcomes are typically classified as low, moderate, or high, with corresponding strategic guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions – Trademark Search Services

What is a trademark search?

A trademark search is a professional assessment of existing trademarks to identify potential conflicts and evaluate the registrability risk of a proposed mark.

Will I receive a trademark search report or opinion?

Yes. Trademark search services include a structured search analysis and risk opinion, summarizing findings and recommended next steps. The assessment is advisory in nature.

Is trademark search mandatory before filing?

Trademark search is not legally mandatory, but it is strongly recommended to reduce the risk of objections, opposition, or refusal.

Can trademark search services be used without filing a trademark?

Yes. Many businesses use trademark search services independently to evaluate brand options before deciding whether or when to file.

Do you recommend classes and specifications as part of the search?

Yes. Search services include recommendations on relevant classes and specification scope, but filing is handled separately under registration services.

Can you compare multiple shortlisted brand names?

Yes. Intepat can evaluate and compare multiple proposed marks and recommend the most viable option from a risk perspective.

Do online trademark search tools provide the same analysis?

No. Online tools list records but do not provide similarity analysis, registrability opinions, or professional recommendations.

Does a trademark search guarantee registration?

No. Trademark search services assess risk and likelihood but cannot guarantee registration outcomes.

Are word mark and logo searches different?

Yes. Word mark searches focus on phonetic and conceptual similarity, while logo searches emphasize visual elements and classification overlap.

Can foreign businesses conduct trademark searches in India?

Yes. Foreign entities frequently use trademark search services to assess Indian registrability before market entry or filing.

What happens after the trademark search is completed?

Clients receive a written report and recommendations, which may include proceeding with registration, modifying the mark, or considering alternatives.

How long does a trademark search take?

Timelines depend on scope and complexity. Trademark search services prioritize accuracy and clarity over speed alone.
