The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is great for trademark searches. They maintain an online trademark database.
However, the USPTO database only shows registered trademarks. Unregistered ones may be missing.
Apart from the USPTO, consider broader searches. For example, search state trademark registries and common law trademark use. Creative Trademark Services has expertise in this since 1997.
Such thorough searches reveal potential trademark conflicts or issues.
In summary, trademark searches are essential. They protect your brand, reinforce your legal ground, and fend off future legal issues.
Lastly, Creative Trademark offers affordable searches. In contrast, providers like Thomson Reuters® are pricier and often non-transparent about their fees.
