Trademark Electronic Search System (IP & Technology Glossary)

Summary

The Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) is a free online database that allows users to search the USPTO’s records for any federally registered, or applied for, trademark, including tailored searches within a variety of fields (such as the registrant’s name and the mark itself). TESS contains the records of active and inactive trademark registrations and applications, including assignment history, and can be accessed at: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=4809:vxm3ud.1.1.
