We issue electronic trademark registration certificates that feature the Director's digital signature and a digital seal in gold to authenticate the registration and ensure the document wasn't modified. Clicking on the gold seal will display the signature properties and signer’s certificate information.
We upload official registration certificates to the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system and email a link to trademark owners and all email addresses in the record. You can view, download, and print a complete copy of your registration certificate at any time for free.
Order a presentation copy in Trademark Center
Although we no longer send paper registration certificates, you can order a printed copy that's suitable for display and framing if your registration issued on or after August 13, 2013. It will feature a gold foil seal, identify the owners, display bibliographic data, and indicate the trademark and classes of goods or services, but won't list the goods and services. Presentation copies aren't official registration certificates or certified copies of the trademark registration.
Some trademark owners are eligible for one free presentation copy. Eligibility depends on the date you filed your application and the date your trademark registration issued. If you filed your application before May 24, 2022, you may be eligible. Anyone who filed an application on or after May 24, 2022, must purchase a copy.
| Application date | Registration date | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Before May 24, 2022 | On or after May 24, 2022 | Free |
| Before May 24, 2022 | August 13, 2013 - May 23, 2022 | $25 |
| On or after May 24, 2022 | Future date | $25 |
Certified copy
If your trademark registration was issued before August 13, 2013, you can order a certified copy for $15. This printed copy certifies the trademark’s status and title, and includes the signature of an authorized certifying officer. You can use this copy in connection with legal proceedings and some filings abroad. For more information about ordering certified copies of trademark registrations, visit the USPTO Certified Copy Center.
