Status Check
To check status information, please use either http://tarr.uspto.gov, or call 571-272-5400 (Monday-Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 12 midnight, EST). If additional information regarding the status of an application or registration is required, callers may telephone the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC) at (571) 272-9250 or (800) 786-9199 and request a status check. TAC is open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday, except on federal holidays.
Copies of Documents
The applicant may view and download any or all documents contained in the electronic file wrapper of all pending trademark applications, as well as many registrations via the Trademark Document Retrieval (TDR) system available online at: http://portal.gov.uspto.report/external/portal/tow. Currently, you can access all pending applications and all Madrid Protocol filings, and also many registrations, via TDR. The USPTO is in the process of converting all remaining registrations into a digital format, to permit future TDR access. This conversion process is expected to take several years.
New Money Saving Program
On July 18, 2005, the USPTO introduced a new version of the application for a Trademark/Service mark, Principal Register. The TEAS Plus form has a lower filing fee of $275 per class of goods and/or services (the TEAS form fee is $325 per class of goods and/or services), but has stricter requirements than the TEAS form.
