Search Tips
Choose Your Options
Use only the search options that you need--leave the others blank.
Owner
Owners include the last reported owner and the agent. Enter the company or individual's name, leaving out words like Corp., Inc., etc.
Words in Trademark
You can find out if there are marks matching a whole word (book) or a whole phrase (mr peanut), words starting with a specific word (note, notebook, notepad, notepaper, etc.), words ending with a specific word (book, notebook, powerbook, schoolbook, etc.), or words containing a string of letters anywhere in the mark (book, notebook, bookmark, notebookmark, etc.).
Trademarks consisting of corrupted spellings (e.g, WEB-TITE), unconventional presentations of words or compound words (e.g., ACTIVEXPRESS), non-Latin characters, or non-English language words are also searchable by variant forms of the words within the mark. For example, ACTIVEXPRESS is also searchable by the words ACTIVE and EXPRESS; the mark WEB-TITE can be searched with the hyphen removed as WEBTITE as well as by the correct spellings of words within the mark, e.g., WEB and TIGHT. Note: to search the exact mark including the hyphen or other punctuation (WEB-TITE) use the Exact Trademark search option.
Exact Trademark
You can search a complete trademark name, but you must enter it with its exact punctuation. Example: IT'S A BOY'S LIFE
Registration Number
Enter the number without punctuation or spaces. Example: 2300009
International Class
You can choose one of the broad classes to focus your search.
Legal Status
You can check on the legal status of a mark, whether it is pending, registered, or lapsed (expired), with or without specifying years.
