402 Electronic Application and Registration Records
The USPTO maintains the Trademark Image Capture and Retrieval System (TICRS), an internal database that includes images of the contents of trademark application and registration records.
The public may view and print images of the contents of trademark application and registration records through the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) portal on the USPTO website at https://tsdr.uspto.gov/. Electronic images of Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceeding records are also available using the TTABVUE system on the USPTO website at http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/. TSDR and TTABVUE are generally available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, free of charge.
402.01 USPTO Does Not Create Paper Copies of Trademark-Related Documents
Effective April 12, 2004, the USPTO stopped generating paper file copies of trademark-related documents that are submitted to the USPTO in electronic format. Furthermore, the USPTO does not generate paper copies of certain trademark documents that the USPTO creates, except for copies that are sent to recipients by mail. See New USPTO Policies Regarding (1) Generation of Paper Copies of Trademark-Related Documents and (2) Public Access to Existing Paper Copies of Trademark-Related Documents (TMOG Apr. 6, 2004) at https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/og/2004/week14/pattmcp.htm.
The USPTO will provide certified paper copies of all trademark documents, upon request and payment of the appropriate fee. See TMEP §111.
