Before investing time and money into your brand, it’s crucial to ensure your name or logo is legally available. A trademark search helps you avoid costly conflicts, rebranding, and potential infringement disputes. At Your Legal Assistant, we provide professional trademark search services across the USA, helping individuals, startups, and businesses confirm that their brand name, logo, or slogan is unique and ready for registration.

Our mission is to help you secure your brand identity confidently, by verifying trademark availability before you file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

How We Can Help You with Trademark Search

Our trademark search process is thorough yet simple. We combine advanced tools with legal expertise to identify potential conflicts and guide you toward a smooth registration process.

Here’s how we assist you step by step:

1. Collect brand details: We begin by gathering information about your brand name, logo, slogan, and the goods or services you want to register under.
2. Conduct a USPTO database search: Our team performs a detailed search through the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) database to check for identical or confusingly similar marks.
3. Analyze potential conflicts: We analyze similar or related trademarks that could pose risks, including phonetic similarities, design elements, or overlapping business categories (Nice Classes).
4. Prepare a comprehensive report: You receive a clear, easy-to-understand report explaining:

• Whether your mark is available
• Possible conflicts or objections
• Recommendations for moving forward

Based on the results, we advise whether you can proceed to file your trademark application confidently or if adjustments (like a name variation) are recommended.

Types of Trademark Searches We Offer

At Your Legal Assistant, we understand that every brand is unique. That’s why we provide tailored trademark search options to suit your needs:

1. Basic Trademark Search: A preliminary check within the USPTO federal database to identify direct matches or obvious conflicts.
2. Comprehensive Trademark Search: We perform an in-depth clearance report that searches federal and state trademark databases and common-law sources like business directories, social media, domain names and company registries, and flags marks that may cause confusion due to phonetic or visual similarity.
3. Logo / Design Mark Search: A detailed visual comparison of your logo against existing trademarked designs using USPTO’s Design Search Code Manual.
4. International Trademark Search: For businesses planning to expand globally, we offer international trademark searches covering WIPO and major jurisdictions outside the U.S.

Why a Trademark Search Matters

Skipping a trademark search can lead to:

• Rejection by the USPTO during the registration process
• Legal disputes with existing trademark owners
• Costly rebranding and loss of marketing investment

A proper search saves you time, money, and potential legal trouble — giving you confidence that your brand is truly yours.
