Trademark search system  

With the retirement of the legacy Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) on November 30, 2023, we have transitioned the system to search for pending and live trademark applications and registrations. The cloud-based trademark search system provides a modern, more stable search experience. You'll find a simplified interface and new capabilities to meet your needs.

Watch the recorded webinars below about using the trademark search system and send us suggestions to improve the search system using the “feedback” button in the search system.
