Availability (clearance) searches are key steps prior to seeking protection for a trademark or industrial design application. The purpose of the search is to identify identical or similar earlier protection rights that may constitute an obstacle to obtaining the protection for a trademark of design. The main tools for conducting a clearance research for a name, logo or design are both public and non-public databases, as well as web browsers.
