Vienna Codes For Image Search

Of the very intimidating process of registering one's trademark, the first step is to have done a thorough and complete trademark search before registering. Searches must be done to ensure that there are no similar marks in the same class as the proposed mark with the similar goods description.

Trademarks can broadly be of two types – containing a device or containing a word-mark (single or multiple words) and then – those containing a device.

But the main problem arises when there is the question of a DEVICE which maybe an image, graphic label, pictorial element, or combination of the above; its contents and elements used for illustrations may be of many types. A device may have only characters (can be seen in IBM or McDonalds), it may have representation of simple shapes, colours, objects, animals, people, planets, or any other form of life, and may even extend to imaginary characters – or any such combinations.
