Thomson CompuMark, the global leader in trademark searching and brand protection solutions and part of Thomson Reuters (NYSE:TRI), today announced the launch of new Identical Screening Search Plus (ISS Plus), delivering unsurpassed global trademark intelligence for initial “knock out” trademark screening searches.

The coverage provided by ISS Plus is the only one of its kind in the trademark searching industry.

ISS Plus was designed to meet the needs of brand owners on tight budgets who recognize the critical need to screen potential trademarks in markets around the world. It goes beyond Thomson CompuMark’s previous Worldwide Identical Screening Search (WISS) search, providing rapid, cost-effective identical screening coverage for more than 200 registers worldwide, plus current trademark status information for 40 of the world’s most commercially important jurisdictions. Search results are reviewed by skilled Analysts to ensure clients receive only relevant results, saving valuable time and effort.

ISS Plus reports are delivered via the Analysis Tool on SERION®, Thomson CompuMark’s online trademark environment. This enables IP professionals to review, analyze and report on search results with unsurpassed speed, ease and efficiency.

“When evaluating new trademarks, IP professionals need in-depth, international trademark search information early in the process to reduce the risk of conflicts. Our new ISS Plus provides enhanced insight, quickly and cost-effectively,” said Martin Burke, Managing Director of Thomson CompuMark. “It’s another example of how we continually expand our customers’ global trademark searching reach, so they can make informed trademark decisions with confidence.”
