This search is highly recommended before a decision is made to file a Community Trade Mark (CTM), in order to identify the number of identical earlier Trade Marks recorded at the various national registries of the EU member states which may cause an obvious and high risk obstacle to the use and successful registration of your Trade Mark in the EU.
This search will provide you with statistical data regarding the number of identical Trade Marks that have been filed by third parties in each of the 28 member states. In the event that your Trade Mark is a compound mark, that is to say, a mark containing two or more different words, this search will provide you with statistical data for each of the words registered as Trade Marks in any of the 28 member states.
This search will be tailored to the classes that are of particular relevance to your business and to the brand you wish to protect as a Trade Mark.
