There are two vital pieces of information that you need to have before doing a federal trademark search. In most cases, federal trademark attorneys require this information before performing a qualified search.
1. The description of the mark, which includes the design and the font used in the text of the trademark.
2. The type of products or services that will be promoted or sold under the mark.
You can do a federal trademark search by logging in to the USPTO website and accessing the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) to search for trademarks registered in the country.
In case your mark has a design element, you will have to do a federal trademark search using a design code. You can also perform the search at the nearest Patent and Trademark Depository Library (PTDL) in your area. This is a library designated by the USPTO to receive and store copies of patent and trademark materials and make them available to the public.
