Guidelines to use Trade Mark Public Search

Understanding your Search Interface:

Search Interface is divided in 3 Parts 1. Categories You can select from three different Categories a) Wordmark, b) Device Mark, and c) Phonetic. 2. Criteria, Keyword & Condition Criteria refine your search. It changes on the selection of Categories. a) For WORDMARK you have {WORDMARK, CLASS, GOODS-SERIVCE DESCRIPTION} b) For DEVICE MARK you have {VIENNA CODE, CLASS} c) For PHONETIC you have {WORDMARK, CLASS} PHONETIC search produces the result for WORDMARK sounding similar. So it may take long time to give result. CLASS criterion is common to all categories and is compulsory to enter. You can look up for Classes through Class Details link. In condition dropdown list you can either select AND or OR to precise your search. 3. Search Button After entering keywords & selecting your conditions click on Start Search button.
