Trademark Alert

What's happening

The Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) will be unavailable due to system maintenance on Friday, January 1, 2021, from midnight until 12:15 a.m. ET. Some identifications from the ID manual will be updated to comply with the Nice Agreement Eleventh Edition. If you selected identifications of goods or services from the ID manual, they may be outdated on January 1.

TEAS and the Trademark Electronic Application System International (TEASi) will be unavailable due to system maintenance on Saturday, January 2, from midnight until 10 a.m. ET. We’re updating the online forms to comply with the Trademark Fee Adjustment rule and to incorporate enhancements based on stakeholder suggestions.

What you should do

To avoid losing any work:

File saved and e-signature initial application forms by 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, December 31, 2020.
File all other saved and e-signature forms by 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday, January 1, 2021.

You will not be able to access previously saved forms or e-signature forms after the system maintenance.
