MADRID PROTOCOL DESIGN OR LOGO SEARCH
The Madrid Protocol Design or Logo Search finds registered, pending and recently abandoned trademarks composed of a particular design, letter or numeral as recorded with the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) maintained in Geneva, Switzerland. The report contains an extract of the official records for each trademark in descending order of relevancy. Each extract includes an indication of the current status of the trademark and a full reproduction of the mark.
This search is for
design-based trademarks only, including the design portion or element of a composite (multi-element) trademark, stand-alone numbers and single letters. If your trademark has both wording (text) and design elements, it is a
composite mark. A composite mark may be registered as a single mark, but the textual and design elements must be searched separately.
To search both the design portion and text elements of a composite mark, select a Madrid Protocol Composite Search.
If your trademark consists of stylized text (words or letters in a particular shape, font, or style of lettering) without a separate design element, select the
Madrid Protocol Word Search to search the words or letters themselves. If it is the shape itself you want searched, and not the letters, then choose the Madrid Protocol Design Search. If you submit your design/graphic/logo via electronic file (email attachment), we can accept most common graphic file types.
To help you decide which classes are most relevant to your trademark, we suggest you use our online
Trademark Acceptable Identification of Goods & Services Manual, typing in key words (one at a time) which best describe your goods or services. Look for results designated with a "T" for Trilateral. If you have questions about the proper classification of your design trademark, call us and we will help you determine the best fit.
Reports will generally be in English except some of the WIPO records may be in Spanish, Italian, German or French. None of the non-English records will be translated into English.
