Where can I search to see if a slogan is already protected by a copyright or trademark?

Question

We have a slogan we want to use at our company, but we want to make sure that no other company is using it first. Where can we search for these?

Answer 1

Slogans are trademarked.

To see if the slogan has been trademarked use the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) database of the US Patent and Trademark Office

Answer 2

I agree with imisidro but I always take the term or slogan and variations thereof and do a Google search as well.
