Trademark Application Files Available Online
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is making full files for trademark applications— including decisions made by examining attorneys— available online.
The Trademark Document Retrieval (TDR) system makes available, as downloadable and printable PDF files, over eight million document pages. This represents the approximately 400,000 trademark files created since USPTO moved to the paper-free First Action System for Trademarks (FAST). The remaining 1.2 million pre-FAST trademark registrations will be converted and moved to TDR over the next five years.
USPTO's Jon Dudas explains, "The TDR system improves our ability to provide timely and useful information to business owners as they develop their marks and prepare to file trademark applications.”
