Search before filing
Russian trademark search before filing
Screen a word mark, logo or combined designation against Russian trademark data before committing the client to a filing strategy.
The English search page is aimed at professionals who need a quick first view and a practical path to a full clearance review. A zero-result screen is not a legal clearance opinion, and a long result list is not automatically a refusal.
Who reviews
Russian patent attorney No. 2834
Nikolay Ivanov supports R-hip trademark clearance, filing and prosecution workflows. The official Rospatent registry record is linked for verification.
- preliminary review of similar marks and applications
- registrability comments before the client filing decision

What the first clearance screen is for
The public search helps reject obvious no-go options and gives the attorney a starting point for a deeper clearance review.
- word-element search for client names, product names and service marks
- image search for logos, device marks and visual designations
- first screen of active registrations and pending applications
What needs attorney judgment
Trademark risk in Russia is not limited to exact matches. Likelihood of confusion, transliteration, translation, dominant elements and overlap in goods or services all influence risk.
- similarity of sound, meaning and visual impression
- relationship between goods and services in the Nice classes
- status of earlier marks and applications
From search to filing decision
When the client wants to proceed, the search results can become part of the workspace. That keeps findings, comments and filing inputs connected.
- save the designation and specification in one workspace
- request attorney comments before committing to filing work
- document the client decision to proceed, amend or stop
FAQ
Is the online search a legal opinion?
No. It is a preliminary clearance screen. A professional risk conclusion requires attorney analysis of the results and the planned goods or services.
Can I search both a word and a logo?
Yes, but they should be checked as separate searches because word and image similarity are assessed differently.
