## Text

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.
See
TMEP
§§503.01(a)
,
504.01
,
505-505.02.
Information about documents recorded with the Assignment
Recordation Branch can be viewed though the Trademark Assignment Search web page.
