Finding a listing of Trademarks

If I wanted to find out how many TM a person had worldwide, where can I find that information?  For free.

I see the US has the USPTO database and the Madrid protocol has a database.    But what about countries that do not belong?  Do they have their own?

need help doing trademark research

In Trademark Monitoring    -  updated on 11/11/2009
Hello.  Is there anyone who knows a simple way to research what trademarks (and patents) a company holds? I am supposed to research this, particularly companies in Europe.  I tried the database at OAMI/CTM, but even though I saw trademarks listed on the company's website, they didn't show up on that site.  I also searched esp@cenet for patents and have again come up blank.  What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks to any and all who can offer some guidance.

Does anyone know if a licensor's quality control over a licensee's use of a trademark is considered a service that has to be in writing to satisfy the statute of frauds (service cannot be completed in 1 yr or less)?
Trademark Search

Trademark Search

If after doing a "BASIC" trademark search on the USPTO nothing matches, not even partially, does that indicate a high likely hood that the trademark is free? Or is such a "BASIC" search more the beginning of the process to determine if a trademark is free/unregistered?

Any help would be much appreciated! .

Thank you,

Bob

Does anyone know a website where you can search to see if your advertising tagline is already trademarked? I know one exists, I just lost the site.

Thanks!

I did a trademark search and found a mark identical to my intended mark.  i wish to sell a specific type of clothing (uniforms for nurses) and the identical mark lists clothing broadly but I don't think they actually sell nursing clothing.  Is their listing of goods controlling over what they actually sell?  should i give up or modify my mark?

trademark abandonment by

In Trademark Monitoring    -  updated on 11/11/2009
A friend has gotten the idea that trademark registration is only as valuable as his future efforts to police infringement of the mark.

(He thinks this is called "abandonment by acquiescense").

From a common sense perspective, it seems like this so-called "acquiescence" must depend on the circumstances.  A small company with limited resources should not be expected to spend all its money
on monitoring for TM infringements, nor should it be expected to ...
