This page contains information on the use of the PTO Web Trademark Database Mark Search Page.

The Mark Search page allows you to search for terms occurring in any of the mark fields (Word Mark, Pseudo Mark, and Translation). While you can search for terms in other ways, this page is designed to simplify one of the most common types of searching. To use the page:

1. Select which database to search from the Select Database list.
2. Type the term or terms (separated by spaces) into the Words in the Marks box.
3. Choose how the terms you entered are related to one another using the Results must contain: drop-down menu.
   • the All of these words option will require documents to contain all of the words you enter. If a mark has all but one of the words, it will not be returned.
   • the Any of these words option will require the mark to contain at least one of the words you enter.
   • the This exact phrase option will require that the terms you entered exist in the document exactly as you have entered them, and in the order you have entered them.
4. Hit the Search button.

The Mark Fields (Word Mark, Pseudo Mark and Translation) will be searched for all the terms you entered, related in the manner you specify, and a list of the documents matching the query will be retrieved, sorted with the most recent document first.

Some things to note:

• The search is not case-sensitive. Searching for 'Mountain' or 'mountain' will return the same results.
• Documents containing terms you are searching for that are in non-mark fields (Owner Name, for example) will not be included in your result set. To search other fields, use the Boolean or Manual search page.
• The 'Refine Search' box on the search results page will use the same query format as the Manual Search page. See the Manual Search Help page for details on its use.
