Why search if OSIM does not refuse on earlier marks?

Precisely because it does not — an unsearched mark can register and still be opposed or later invalidated. A search lets the client decide with the facts.

Trade Mark Searches & Clearance — Romania & the EU

Key facts

Registers searched: The Romanian (OSIM) and EU (EUIPO) registers, including Madrid designations taking effect there.
Search types: Knock-out and full searches in the relevant Nice classes.
What you get: An opinion on registrability (absolute grounds) and conflict risk (relative grounds), plus a file / don’t-file recommendation.
Why it matters: OSIM does not check earlier marks, so clearance is the practical substitute for office-side conflict checking.

What this covers

Knock-out and full searches in the relevant Nice classes; an opinion on registrability (absolute grounds) and on conflict risk (relative grounds); and a recommendation on whether and how to file. Because OSIM does not examine relative grounds, clearance is the practical substitute for office-side conflict checking.
