Trademark search options
Before you file, you can pick from a few kinds of searches, depending on how much detail you need.
Basic (knockout) search
A basic search, also called a knockout search, looks only for exact matches to the name you have in mind.
Comprehensive search
A comprehensive search goes further. It reviews names that are similar to yours, variations in how a name sounds (phonetic variations), and logos that look alike, and it covers several databases.
