TESS and TEAS/TEASi Maintenances

TESS Maintenance

The USPTO will perform maintenance on the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) beginning at 12:01 a.m. and ending at 5 a.m., Sunday, August 17, EDT. 

TESS will be unavailable during the maintenance period. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

TEAS/TEASi Maintenance

The USPTO will perform maintenance on Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) and Trademark Electronic Application Submission International (TEASi) beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m., Saturday, August 23 EDT.

TEAS and TEASi will be unavailable during the maintenance period.

Because portable and e-signature forms may take up to 14 days to process, it is important that you be aware of this scheduled outage so that you can plan ahead to avoid additional work. Our recommendation is that you file all recently created portable and e-signature forms by August 22, 2014. Customers unable to do so will be required to start the process again with updated forms.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
