There are also vendors that make conducting knock out searches easier and less costly for clients than using the antiquated searching structure of TESS. Thomson & Thomson has a service as do other full search providers.

Great update, Brian! Hope you are enjoying yourself.

Thanks, it’s great to be here, lots going on. They did not as I recall mention specific databases, though one might assume that this would be the sort of standard TESS, Google, D&B, etc. type search. In this particular case example, the regions for the proposed mark were the U.S., E.U., and APAC.

Good summary of the discussion, thanks. Wish I was there!

Did the speakers discuss how they would do these knockout searches, like what databases they used, etc? Also, which geographic area(s) was/were searched?

Kevin Thompson
