Instructions
Search US federal trademark applications and registrations.
USE THIS TOOL WHEN: You need to find trademarks by mark text, owner,
goods/services description, or Nice/international class — e.g.
clearance/knockout searches for a proposed mark, or mapping a company's
trademark portfolio.
NOTE: Backed by the undocumented internal API behind tmsearch.uspto.gov
(the TESS replacement) — same risk profile as PPUBS; may break without
notice. For authoritative status of a specific mark, use
tsdr_get_trademark_status. Federal marks only (no common-law/state marks).
Args:
query: Raw query string for advanced searches
mark_text: Word mark text to search (e.g., "ACME")
owner_name: Owner/applicant name to search
goods_services: Goods/services description terms (e.g., "athletic
footwear") — useful for clearance searches across wording
registration_number: Exact registration number to look up
international_class: Nice class number 1-45 (e.g., "9" for software;
use get_trademark_class_info to look up classes)
status_filter: "live" (active marks), "dead" (abandoned/cancelled/
expired), or omit for both
offset: Starting position for pagination (default: 0)
limit: Maximum results to return (default: 25, max: 100)
Returns:
Normalized response with matching trademark records.
