International Trademark Search
<http://tinyurl.com/1uop>
<http://trademark.blog.us/blog/2002/10/07.html#a199>
Trademark Blog promotes its meta search tool for conducting exact match
queries in the trademark databases of multiple countries. This utility
finds
trademarks that match at least one word of your query exactly. In other
words,
as the blog announcement warns, "[a] dead-hit search is not a substitute
for a
full search evaluated by qualified counsel."
