Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) Database

The Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) database

on the USPTO website provides detailed information about the status and prosecution

history of trademark applications and registrations.  The TSDR database is generally

available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The TSDR database is normally updated shortly after the

USPTO internal databases are updated. However, the TSDR database may not reflect changes

in ownership that have been recorded in the Assignment Recordation Branch.  There are

circumstances in which the Trademark database will be updated automatically upon the

recordation of a change of ownership.

See

TMEP

§504

.  In all other cases, the new owner must separately

notify the Trademark Operation in writing of the recordation of a document, and request

that the Trademark database be updated manually.
