Digital certificate access through quick response code

Beginning December 24, 2019, you'll see a quick response code (similar to a barcode) on the printed registration certificate. You can scan this code using a quick response app to open a digital version of your registration certificate in the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system.
This allows you to more easily access your certificate and verify that the information on the printed certificate matches TSDR. This is also a step toward providing an official digital registration certificate that will replace the print version.

Example of certificate:
