The Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) is a database of every U.S. trademark that has been registered or applied for. Each record in TESS includes many important elements of the mark.
How do I find pending trademarks?
Use the Trademark Search and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system to retrieve status information and to review all documents currently in the record for pending applications and registered trademarks. TSDR is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Are trademarks public record?
Trademark applications and registrations are public records. Individuals and private companies may use this public information to create third-party access to these records.
How do I run a trademark search?
Conduct the Search. Search on TESS--the USPTO's web-based Trademark Electronic Search System-at your local Patent and Trademark Resource Center (www.uspto.gov/ptrc) or at home if you have Internet access.
