How to Conduct a Trademark Search

Before registering your trademark with the USPTO, it’s important to know how to conduct a trademark search to ensure no one else is currently using your mark.
At Gerben Law Firm, one of our biggest challenges is educating clients about the three types of trademark searches that are needed to properly conduct a search. There’s not only a federal trademark search on the USPTO database, but also a trademark search of all 50 state government databases and a Common Law search. Only by looking through all three of these different categories of trademarks can we provide an opinion on whether or not a trademark is clear to use and register.
How to conduct a trademark search:
1. Federal Trademark Search
2. State Trademark Search
3. Common Law Trademark Search

    I resell items online( e-commerce) i just got a message from mercari: your listing has been removed because we received a notice from a trademark owner who has reported you as infriging upon their trademark.... what exactly is happening? I do not understand..

    Should your LLC match the name your trying to get trademarked? And which should you do first; LLC or Trademark?

    No it doesn’t have to. Your LLC is the owner of the trademark. Basically you can have your trademark under the LLC.
