Adjunct faculty member of the St. Thomas School of Law Bradley Walz wrote a column for the Star Tribune on the importance of researching trademarks before applying for a trademark.
From the column: Accordingly, a business needs to conduct a trademark search before investing time and money into a new brand. Although no trademark search can reveal every possible conflict with a proposed trademark, a proper search can steer you clear of any big problems.
