Trademark Searching: A Desk Reference

---

 
This manual is designed to be a desk reference for new associates and practicing trademark attorneys. The first section gives a brief overview of trademarks, what they are, what makes them strong or weak and what can and cannot achieve federal registration. The focus of the second section is on the actual search. It details different search strategies and economical search methods. The final section is the reference section and contains the various numbers for help desks in the most used search databases. This also contains a clear version of the Patent and Trademark Offices listing of the International Classification codes.
 
ANALYSIS OF THE MARK:
 
Trademark analysis begins with determining whether the potential client has been using a mark to represent their goods in interstate commerce. A mark currently being used to identify a product in interstate trade is considered to be in use with respect to federal registration. Conversely, the client may have an intent to use the mark but has not attached the mark to goods within interstate trade channels.  
The second type of assessment determines what type of trademark the client needs to increase the market value of his goods or services. There are four types of trademark that can be recorded on the federal register at the Patent and Trademark Office. The four types of marks are:

1. Trademark: A trademark can be a word, sound, symbol, name, or device that distinguishes the owner's products in the market and prevents consumer confusion. Ford Motor Company has widespread public recognition and is an example of a strong mark.  
2. Service: The equivalent of trademarks except the mark distinguishes a service instead of goods. An example of a strong service mark is the golden arches of McDonalds Corporation.  
3. Certification: These marks inform the public that the certified goods or services have achieved a particular standard established by a third party. The Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval is a well-known certification mark.  
4. Collective: A trademark or service mark used collectively by a group of people such as a union. A well-known collective mark is United Steelworkers.  

Once the mark is decided upon by the client a trademark search must be performed to minimize the likely hood of confusion with a similar mark. All goods and services are categorized in specific groups and identified by an International Classification code. These codes are utilized during a trademark search to narrow the area a similar mark may be already in use. There are forty-two classifications for goods and services covering a wide array of products.
 
The strength of a trademark in measured by its inherited distinctiveness. Distinctiveness means that there will be no public confusion with a preexisting mark. The strength of a mark in its infancy may hinge on the amount of advertising capital available. Arbitrary marks are the strongest but require the most capital to establish in the market. On the other hand, descriptive marks are very weak but make it easy for the public to identify the nature of the product. These need less advertising resources to establish a firm place in the market. There are four levels listed strongest to weakest.

1. Arbitrary: The trademark does not describe the characteristics of a good or service. Xerox is an example of an arbitrary mark. The test for arbitrariness mark is; does the mark describe the product in any way.  
2. Suggestive: Indirectly describes the goods or services, however, the customer must make the mental connect between the name and the description. Coppertone suntan lotion is a good suggestive mark because it implies that with use the skin will take on a "copper tone." There is a two-part test for suggestiveness: 1) The customer must use their imagination to link the mark with the product, and 2) mark must not be necessary for competitors to describe the same product.  
3. Descriptive: The trademark describes the product without any mental connection for the customer. Such marks may describe a geographic origin, surname, or the product itself. An example of a descriptive mark is Weight Watchers. The company sells products and services that help the consumer watch their weight. The test for descriptiveness is: the consumer immediately ling the mark with the product.  
4. Generic: Common name of the product. Aspirin is a good example of a generic mark. The test for a generic mark is that the generic name is the common term used by the public to describe the product and not the manufacturer.  

The next step in analyzing a mark is to identify if the mark can be registered and enforced. The Lanham Act lists the types of marks that are not suitable for registration. The follow types of mark will not be granted a federal registration.

1. Generic: These marks will not be registered.  
2. Scandalous or Immoral: Any mark that offense the public conscience, morals, or sense of decency will not be registered.  
3. Deceptive: When a mark misrepresents its origin, resulting in consumer reliance on the misrepresentation in the decision to buy, the consumer has been deceived.  
4. Merely descriptive: These marks must prove secondary meaning before they can be registered. Secondary meaning arises when the consumer recognizes the trade name as a source of origin, not as a description of the product. Tests for secondary meaning are often conducted through surveys. Five years of continuous use of a descriptive mark is prima facie evidence of secondary meaning.  
5. Surname: A person cannot register his or her name unless it has secondary meaning. An example of a surname that has obtained secondary meaning is Ford Motor Company.  
6. Primarily Geographic: These marks cannot be registered unless they are accurate and have obtained secondary meaning. An example of this is Florida Orange Juice.  
7. Mark in Prior Use: The first to use and register a mark is known as the senior user. Any subsequent users or applications to use the mark are infringing the senior mark and will not be granted registration.  
8. Use of Deceased U.S. President: The use of the name, signature or portrait of a deceased U.S. President during the life of his widow without consent is prohibited.  
9. Governmental Authority: A mark that consists of a flag, symbol or other insignia of any government's power is prohibited.  
10. Disparaging any Person: The use of a mark that disparages any person, living or dead, and any institution, belief or national symbol is prohibited.  
11. Living Person: The use of a name, portrait or signature of a living person without consent is prohibited.  
12. Wine and Spirits: A mark that is misdiscriptive of the source of wine or spirits is prohibited. This provision effects marks registered after January 1, 1996.  

All goods and services are sold in a particular channel of trade. The possibility for confusion among consumers depends largely on how a product is used and its projected consumer base. For example, Trilogy Inc., sells harps to musicians. A second company, Trilogy Industries, sells surgical equipment. Although both companies use the name Trilogy they operate in separate channels of trade. Therefore, the likelihood of confusion is minimal even if both products are sold in the same geographical area.
 
SEARCHING THE MARK
 
The principal obstacle to trademark registration is the possibility of public confusion, which may result in an infringement suit. This obstacle demonstrates the need for information on the potential mark. Initial information is collected from the client. An effective way of collecting the information is with a client questionnaire. (See appendix A) The client's information is utilized to do a preliminary search. This search is designed to identify obvious conflicts, which would disqualify the mark from registration. However, this initial search is superficial. A more comprehensive search, known as a full search, is necessary to determine the availability of the mark. Marks that are not excluded by the preliminary search may then be sent to a professional search firm who conduct the full search using federal, state, common law, international, and domain name databases. The expense of a full search is insignificant compared to the cost of litigating an infringement suit.
 
Preliminary Search: The question of how extensive the search needs to be is determined by the outcome of the preliminary search. One of the most overlooked strategies to achieve a cost efficient search is to rely on the professional researches at each databases help desk. This free service is designed to help trademark attorneys formulate the most effective search. Help desks can be called as many times as needed and some are available twenty-four hours a day.
 
In the event that you cannot reach a help desk you will need to formulate effective search terms for the potential mark. The initial search should then begin with an exact word search on the mark. This search is designed to find any other mark that is identical to your mark. To perform an exact word search simply type in the name or string of words in the mark. If this first search does not disqualify your mark the next step is a search of the most distinctive word in the mark. For example, if your mark is Trilogy Instruments you would type in Trilogy by itself to find any marks using the word Trilogy. A distinctive word will produce a narrower result than a search on a common word. Common words, such as instrument(s), may produce multiple hits that need to be limited further by searching.
 
A prefix and suffix search is an effective way to further tailor a search. This search uses your word and gives variations of it by adding prefixes to the beginning and suffixes to the end of the mark. This is an important search because it finds marks that are similar phonetically and may lead to public confusion. For example: the word search on "Nation" would find "Nationsbank," "International," "Nation's." In most databases this word would be searched using some type of truncation such as: Nation!, Nation?, Nation*, or Nation#. This technique is also a good way to find corrupted spellings of common words such as Zantac and Zentax, which are phonetically similar. Refer to each databases manual or help desk to find which term should be applied. The final element that should be kept in mind is to pay close attention to any similar marks within your International Classification or goods and services.
 
Full Search: Once your mark has survived the preliminary search you must do a full search of the mark. This is a more comprehensive search of U.S. federal, state, common law, international and domain names databases. Further, this will search the mark's design, and the product's trade dress, colors, sounds and scents. The federal database search provides a more in depth search than conducted in the preliminary search. This search will expand on the preliminary search and include abbreviations, punctuation, synonyms, and English translations of foreign words. The state database covers marks that have been registered only with the respective state or U.S. territory. Common law databases are difficult to search because you are trying to find marks that have not been registered. Some of the databases searched are business directories, yellow pages, trade and regular magazines and newspapers. International databases include foreign nations as well as combined European Union databases such as the World Intellectual Property Organization. Finally, a domain names search will cover Internet domain names that are similar to your mark.
 
Most firms will hire a professional search firm to conduct the full search of a potential mark. Professional search firms will be more efficient than an individual attorney search and therefore are more cost effective. Most firms will conduct and return a search within five days or for an extra fee deliver a search back the same day. This method of search also lowers your exposure to the possibility of an infringement suit.
