To view the status of your trademark online, you simply need to visit Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) tool provided by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This tool allows you to view the official trademark record, the status of your tradeamark application or registration, and every single document that has been filed or sent by the USPTO to the trademark owner.
Viewing Trademark Status and Details of the File
To look up the status of the trademark, enter the trademark serial or registration number and click the status button. Click the "Expand All" toggle under "Mark Information" to see the full details about the trademark Note that updates to your trademark case status may take a few days to reflect in the TSDR system after submission. If you don't see an update immediately, give the system some time to process your information.
Viewing Trademark Documents
To view all the documents filed and sent enter the trademark serial or registration number and click the "Documents" button. You can click on the link of any document and view the contents of the submission. Upon filing responses or other documents, the USPTO typically provides an official filing receipt as proof of submission. This acknowledgment serves to confirm successful filing and includes details like your application or serial number and the date of submission.
Viewing Trademark Registration Renewal Dates
Once the trademark registers, the USPTO provides the due date of the next trademark renewal.
The best practice is to file trademark renewals by the "Earliest Date" to avoid late fees or forgetting to file and having your registration canceled. Note filing early doesn't penalize you as renewal due dates are calculated from the date the trademark registered.
