Trademark searching is optional, but we suggest you not to skip this step as it allows to achieve the following goals:

Identifyingidentical and similar trademarks which could be used by the Trademark Office examiner as an obstacle to registration.
If such TMs are identified – adjusting the TM registration strategy and scope of legal protection: changing the type of the trademark (wording, logo, composite), indicating or non-indicating colors, adding or removing some elements – so that the trademark will be successfully registered.
Reducing the risk of other trademarks being referred to by the examiner and, accordingly, avoiding additional costs on responding to Office Actions.
