File Description [top]

The TRADEMARKSCAN® - South Korea database is produced by Thomson CompuMark. The database principally serves as a preliminary trademark screening tool for checking on the availability of new product and service names. Like the other TRADEMARKSCAN files, TRADEMARKSCAN - South Korea should not be used as the sole basis for clearing a new name or for filing a trademark application. If a trademark is not found in the database, it does not necessarily mean that the trademark is available for use. Registration does, however, confer the exclusive right to the use of a trademark and offers a greater degree of protection from infringement.

Most of the records contain the trademark, application and registration numbers, international and national class(es), status, goods/services description in English, current owner, dates, and other pertinent information. Trademarks can be searched as phrases (ET=), as whole words or word beginnings in the Basic Index, or as word fragments or word endings in the rotated index (TR=). All trademarks have a corresponding image. Korean trademarks are transliterated, and the original graphic filing is provided in the image.

The TRADEMARKSCAN - South Korea database can be searched individually or in conjunction with other trademark file(s). Special efforts have been made to standardize the search and display fields for all trademark databases. The OneSearch category, TMKS, covers all trademark databases. The ASIATMKS category cover Australian, Japanese and South Korean trademarks.

1 Use the Basic Index to search complete words, compound words, or word beginnings, e.g., S KEY?. Use the rotated index TR= to search word fragments, or word endings, e.g., TR=MAIL?. Since punctuation is stripped for trademark searching, use the AND operator instead of the (W) operator for the most comprehensive retrieval. Search compound words as the whole word and as its parts, e.g., S KEYMAIL? OR (KEY AND MAIL?).

2 Since trademarks are not cross-referenced, for the most comprehensive retrieval, alternative spellings should be SELECTed either in the Basic Index, e.g., SELECT HARBOR OR HARBOUR OR HAVRE or in the Rotated Trademark index, e.g., SELECT TR=(HARBOR? OR HARBOUR? OR HAVRE?).
