Summary
Run by the World Intellectual Property Organization, the Global Brand Database searches international trademarks under the Madrid System plus collections from participating national and regional offices, with brand name, owner, Nice class and image search. It is useful for checking a series or imprint name before selling in several Amazon stores at once. WIPO notes it is not a real-time copy of every register, so also search the national office for each country you care about and get legal advice for anything valuable.
