This search is the most comprehensive search offered by Fovea IP.
This search stands between “word similarity” and “phonetically identical” searches. It allows the client to identify, at a lower cost, the major hurdles against one or more trademark projects before conducting a “full similarity” search.

This search identifies the identical marks, alphabetically or phonetically. This is the basic level of searching and the most limited strategy offered by Fovea IP.

For these searches, Fovea IP uses proprietary artificial intelligence technology which is similar to facial or fingerprint recognition applications.

An in use search identifies a serious usage/lack of usage of a trademark for a given product or service.
