Trademark Search
It is difficult and almost impossible to obtain accurate search result in Myanmar because trademark searches cannot be officially conducted with the Registrar of Deeds and Assurances since it does not issue trademark journals nor gazettes for registration records and also keeps its records confidential. The only possible way to conduct a trademark search is on the grounds of publication of the Cautionary Notices in local newspapers. That means if a confusingly similar mark is not published, the search result will not reveal it. In addition, the Registrar of Deeds and Assurances accepts all applications to register without checking any similarity. Therefore, we suggest that you do not conduct search in Myanmar, but simply file an application to register the mark and/or publish the Cautionary Notice in a local newspaper.
