The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has released a new and
enhanced version of the Trademark
Assignment Search System. Users can take advantage of improvements
that make it easier to search and to obtain more comprehensive
results. Some of the highlights include:
- Three ways to search the Assignment database:
(1) the “Quick Look-up”,
which is similar to the old search system allowing you to enter a reel/frame,
registration number, assignor name, etc.,
(2) a general “Search”
feature, which allows you to input information and search all fields at once
for that information, and
(3) an “Advanced Search,” which, among other
enhancements, allows:
-The user to search date ranges and use Boolean
operators.
-Use of wildcard search
operators and fuzzy operators so the user can retrieve alternate spellings of any entered
information.
- Search results now are displayed in a more user friendly format.
- The user can export the trademark search results to CVS, PDF, and XML formats.
- The user can filter the basic search results as needed.
We trust this new search system will be useful and we encourage
you to provide any comments or suggestions you may have regarding this new
system by sending an email to TMFeedback.
