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.
See more information when you open a search result
As part of our fall 2025 release, you can try our new beta feature, which shows more information about a trademark when you open a search result without needing to go to the Trademark Status and Documents (TSDR) system.
To use this new feature:
- Complete a trademark search.
- At the top of the results page, toggle the new feature opt-in to the “On” position.
- Select a search result.
- The details page will now show most of the information from TSDR without having to leave the search system.
If you’re logged in to your USPTO.gov account, you can choose what information to include on a summary page.
- Use the toggles in the trademark details to choose which sections to show in your summary.
- Select the drop-down arrow next to the Print/Save button and select Case summary.
- This will open a case summary with the information you chose to see. Select Print/Save to print your summary.
If you’re logged in, you can also view the file in TSDR by selecting the View details button from the case summary page.
To stop using the new search feature, return to the results page and toggle the button to the “Off” position.
If you have comments or suggestions about this new feature, use the feedback button in the search system.
