Trademarks are logos or names which help to distinguish companies and their products in the market. Companies with a great idea, a good product or even just a brilliant business name will want to carry out a trademark registration in order to protect their interest. Before even thinking about doing this, we recommend that you approach a professional (such as ourselves) to perform a trademark search.
A trademark search simply involves searching the trademark register to see if a similar trademark already exists. A problem faced by many new businesses is they build their brand or trademark only to find at a later date that the trademark is already registered by someone else. This can lead to serious costs with re-branding or potential legal battles.
Starting Off On The Right Footing
We recommend that even before you register your limited company you carry out a trademark search to ensure that someone has not already registered your chosen name, slogan or logo as a trademark. Simply getting your business name on the company register is not enough on its own to offer you full protection. It is still possible for someone else to register your business name or logo as their own trademark (or to have already done so previously) even if they don’t have a limited company on the register themselves.
A trademark search is therefore the best way to get started on a good footing. We include a trademark search as an optional extra in our Company Formation packages or you can contact our trademark search team to request the service separately.
The Company Warehouse Trademark Search Service
A trademark search will be carried out by our trademark specialists. The information they gather is then put into a comprehensive report which will be sent to you via e–mail including our recommendations.
If the trademark search shows that we are able to register your chosen trademark, then we highly recommend that you do so. There are many benefits of trademark registration including the protection of your company interests and the ability to take legal action to prevent other people using your brand name or logo while selling their goods or services.
A trademark search is a low cost way of ensuring that a registration can be carried out without the danger of a registration being rejected on the grounds of an identical trademark already being on the register. Order a trademark search today by contacting our specialist team or request a search as part of a company formation order.
