Trademark Clearance Search
$300 Flat Fee
Mastermark will perform a comprehensive search of the USPTO database and various online sources for any conflicting trademarks (identical or similar) that may prevent your trademark from becoming registered in the relevant class or classes you are seeking registration in. All relevant Federal trademarks and common law marks and uses will be taken into consideration.
After the search is completed, you will be provided with a detailed report, analysis and opinion regarding the feasibility of securing a registration for your trademark. The report will also address any conflict and potential infringement issues with existing marks that are discovered during the search.
If the results of the search are unfavorable, Mastermark will perform a complimentary search (and additional report) for an alternative mark of your choosing.
