Trademark search: how to do a quick search at the USPTO website

Nolo's intellectual property expert Rich Stim explains how to conduct a quick trademark search at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website.

Before you invest too much time or money in a new business or product name you should perform a quick -- and free -- trademark search to see if any competitors have registered a similar name. This video explains how to do this search.
