Question about Trademarks.?

Posted at: 2015-03-04 
trademark registration is completely optional. However, there is a database of all registered trademarks, including what class of goods/services they cover, available for public searching.

Because registration is optional, you would need to do additional research of trade sources to determine if the name is already "in use" in ways that would create a likelihood of confusion (i.e., trademark infringement).

A trademark is a word, symbol or design, or a combination of these, used to distinguish the goods or services of one person or organization from those of others in the marketplace. For a more detailed description read Trademarks explained.

Probably not of interest to you,. unless you are going international, the U.S. trademarks office has a registration search function, (although I am not familiar with those classes)

USPTO.gov

You can talk with the registration office about this they will help you about this matter.

I have selected a few names to be registered as a trademark for my product. My products falls under classes 30 and 31 of trademarks. But what i want to know is, HOW TO KNOW THAT A NAME IS ALREADY REGISTERED UNDER THAT CLASS??? Is there any kind of online service that can tell you that the name I selected is available for registration in that class or is taken by somebody else...
