We have transitioned to a cloud-based Trademark Search system, which provides a modern, more stable search experience. You'll find a simplified interface and new capabilities to meet your needs.
Your feedback helps us continuously improve the system. If you want to send us your comments and suggestions, use the feedback button on the right side of any page within the search system.
Log in to USPTO.gov for a new search feature
We’ve heard your feedback on our new search system, and we’re adding a highly requested feature to improve your experience.
In April, we’ll be introducing a new summary page that shows key information about each application or registration. Instead of requiring you to access the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system to learn more about each trademark, you’ll be able to easily view important details such as filing date, attorney information, and more.
To use this new feature:
- Make sure you’re logged in to your USPTO.gov account during your search session. You can create a USPTO.gov account now if you don't already have one. You don’t need to verify your identity to use this feature.
- Turn on expert mode and complete a search.
- Click on a trademark from your results to open the summary page in a new tab.
You can easily save or print the summary page, or access TSDR if you need more detailed information.
You’ll still be able to search our trademark database without logging in. However, logging in will give you access to even more features and enhancements in the future, including options to customize your search experience based on your preferences.
