What are copies of the cited trademarks?
We will provide you with all the information stored in the official trademark databases, including:
• Trademark name
• Register
• Application date
• Application number
• Registration date (if available)
• Registration number (if available)
• Owner
• List of goods and services
You will then be able to determine if the trademark is registered or not, if it is still protected (renewed) or not, and the exact goods and services for which a protection is claimed. You can then compare these goods and services to your own goods and services of interest and try to determine if a conflict may exist between your trademark and the older cited trademark.
Please note however that the rights as registered may be limited by use: if a trademark has been registered for more than five years, it can be partially or totally revoked if it has not been used for a part or all the goods and services mentioned in the description of goods.
