A lawyer's note on screening vs. clearance

A database hit list — from this API or any search engine — is a screening tool. It will tell you about identical or similar registered marks; it will not evaluate likelihood of confusion, related goods and services, common-law uses that never registered, or registrability. Before adopting a mark or filing, a professional clearance search and opinion is the step that protects the investment.
