    I'm opening a bar in Dublin and am looking to rename the pub.

    How do you search if a name is trademarked and can be used?

    Thanks in advance for the replies

    You can search registered business names here; you can search Irish trademarks here, where pubs are under class number 43.

    If you're worried about possible trademark disputes, the Patents Office have an advice service, but I think the only way to be absolutely sure you will have no trouble is to get a lawyer to look at it for you.

    You can also use your own name without any trademark issues.

    Or even their username. Would be a great pub name.
