Availability Search

Availability search

Before filling any sign as a trademark, GEVERS strongly advises conducting an availability search through its specialized databases. A search will detect obstruction risks from prior rights for similar or identical signs and avoid that you put time or money into signs already protected. Using the appropriate searching strategy, our trademark specialists evaluate these risks and provide corresponding opinions and advice

How we can help you and add value?

In-depth investigations on the availability

Clear reports with risk levels

Review of use requirements

Advice on mitigation of risks

We identify earlier rights on commercial signs, including trademarks, trade and company names even domain names and social media and analyze their risks.

We assess the similarity between your mark and the other conflicting sign, as well as the similarity of the concerned products and services, taking into account the effective use of the proposed mark.

GEVERS provides a clear overview of possible risks and allocates a risk level, as well as specific advice on how to mitigate any risks.

We also conduct in-depth use investigations anywhere in the world, in order to further determine the risks of certain earlier rights.
