Typical conflicts for class 44 marks
Clinic and salon names clash with cosmetics in class 3 and medical goods in classes 5 and 10.
An office compares your mark with earlier marks for identical and related goods or services, not only within the same class. Run a trademark availability search to see the closest marks in class 44 and its neighbours, or order a clearance search before a launch.
