Upcoming Patents and Trademarks URL changes

On Sunday, January 17, we will be shortening Patents and Trademarks URLs to provide a more consistent customer experience.

You may encounter a brief period of "page not found" or "404 error" messages if you visit our website while this maintenance work takes place, as it will take about 30 minutes for the old URLs to be redirected to their new pathways:
