Acquiring a trademark is perhaps the most valuable step to protect your business name. A streamlined trademark search and filing process ensures your brand name, logo, or slogan belongs exclusively to you—without infringement issues or costly litigation.
At InventionIP, we provide comprehensive trademark search and filing services to help businesses protect their brand assets efficiently. From comprehensive searches to complete filing and monitoring, our experts ensure your mark is legally protected under U.S. trademark law.
Understanding the Importance of a Trademark Search
A trademark search is not simply a first step—it's a prudent step. Before attempting registration, a thorough search determines if your suggested trademark infringes upon any existing or pending marks.
Omitting this step will lead to a denied application or, worse, costly legal battles that may run into thousands of dollars.
For instance, if a business introduces a product called "AquaPure" without checking availability, and there is someone else who already has a similar mark, the business may be brought to court for infringement or be compelled to rename—losing brand recognition and sales.
InventionIP conducts thorough searches in:
- USPTO databases for registered and pending marks
- Common law sources of unregistered trademarks
- World databases for protection worldwide
Each search report enlightens the issue, demarking any likely conflict and suggesting safer alternatives.
With accurate information and expert evaluation, corporations can move to filing confidently.
Why Choose Expert Trademark Filing Services
Trademark filing is all about comprehensive documentation and strict compliance with USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) requirements. Errors in classification, ownership details, or descriptions tend to cause unwarranted delays or outright rejection.
By hiring professional filing services, firms guarantee every step is in keeping with legal and procedural regulations.
At InventionIP, we work systematically:
- Establish correct international classes for your products or services
- Prepare precise descriptions to adhere to USPTO regulations
- File all necessary forms and documents
- Supervise official correspondence with USPTO
Professional handling saves time and prevents errors that would invalidate your application. Our streamlined system updates the clients via each step—from filing to approval.
Example:
A green cleaning product startup attempted a do-it-yourself filing of "EcoWave" as a trademark. The USPTO rejected the application due to incorrect class selection and vague product descriptions. InventionIP's counsel helped them refocus correctly with the correct information and achieve their trademark registration in a matter of months.

Comprehensive Trademark Search Reports
Our trademark search reports are made to be concise and decision-conducive.
They contrast similar, conceptually similar, and same marks across different jurisdictions.
In a case, a buyer planning to register "TechNova" for consumer electronics through our report knew that the same name had previously been registered in Class 9.
On the basis of it, they rebranded as "TechNovaX" so as to safely register without any delay.
We offer suggestions, risk analysis, and visual mark comparisons in order to make it easy to understand.
Effective Filing and Watch Services
Trademark protection does not end with filing—it begins there.
After filing, we track your application status, handle the USPTO letters, and manage deadlines.
Following registration, our watch services track possible infringements and oppositions, alerting clients to any danger to their trademark.
This proactive surveillance maintains your brand's integrity and legal position.
Affordable and Transparent Fees
Trademark protection must be affordable for all businesses, no matter how big or small. InventionIP offers economical packages that fit particular requirements.
We have clear cost structures from the outset—no hidden charges or surprise bills.
Our open approach allows startups, SMEs, and companies to obtain legal protection without financial stress.
Case Study: Protecting a Startup Brand
A health company named "GreenZen" approached InventionIP when it found another business using a similar logo.
Our inquiry revealed that the rival business had not yet applied for federal registration. InventionIP immediately applied for the trademark for "GreenZen" and acquired registration rights before any furore had arisen.
The company then diversified its markets to international locations and, with the help of InventionIP, sought trademark protection under the Madrid Protocol—providing global coverage.
This proactive move shielded them from future litigation and costly rebranding.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How is a trademark search different from a filing?
A search seeks to determine if a name or logo is in use, while a filing is the actual process of filing to claim ownership with the USPTO.
2. How long does it take to register a trademark in the U.S.?
It typically takes 8–12 months, pending examiner reviews and oppositions filed.
3. Can I trademark my logo and brand name together?
Yes, you can file separately or jointly. InventionIP recommends the best practice based on your business entity.
4. Do I have to do a professional trademark search if I've already searched on Google?
Yes. Google only shows limited information. A professional search includes federal, state, and common law databases that Google does not include.
5. What if someone uses my trademark in a way that infringes after registration?
Once registered, you can pursue infringers and stop unauthorized use. InventionIP also offers enforcement support.
6. Must I renew my trademark?
Yes. Trademarks are renewed every 10 years in the U.S., with maintenance filings due from between the 5th and 6th year after registration.
7. Are foreign businesses able to file a U.S. trademark using InventionIP?
Absolutely. We assist international clients in safeguarding trademark rights in the US, completing all the paperwork and compliance steps.
