A clearance search, often referred to as a trademark search, is a crucial stage in the trademark registration procedure. It is employed to ascertain whether a trademark is eligible for registration. To make sure that a proposed trademark does not clash with previously registered or submitted for use trademarks, a trademark search is carried out. Databases from the federal, state, and common law are used in the search. In order to protect a brand or logo, it is crucial to conduct a trademark search.

Trademark assignment is the action or process by which the original owner of the trademark transfers ownership and rights, with or without the reputation associated with a trademark, to another entity partially or entirely, with or without some stated conditions. Trademark Assignment or Property Licensing are the two most common ways for a corporation that owns a trademark to transfer its rights associated with the trademark to another entity. The parties' formal assignment agreement usually governs this transfer of rights, which gives the assignee (the party acquiring the rights) permission to use the trademark in commerce.
