US + CA + MX Trademark Search

As the world’s largest trademark jurisdiction, the U.S. processes over 700,000 applications annually through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The U.S. employs a first-to-use system, where trademark rights can arise from actual commercial use, even without registration. This makes it critical to identify unregistered, common-law marks to avoid conflicts that could derail your launch or result in costly rebranding. The U.S. market is especially important for sectors like e-commerce, technology, and entertainment.

Canada’s trademark system, managed by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), has modernized through its adoption of the Madrid Protocol but still retains unique requirements—such as mandatory post-registration use declarations and robust common-law protections. Given Canada’s bilingual market and regulated industries, trademark searches must go beyond federal records to capture potential conflicts.
