Internet Access to Trademark Application Files Now Available
“For the first time, anyone with Internet access anywhere in the world can use USPTO’s Web site to review documents in the official trademark application file, including all decisions made by trademark examining attorneys and their reasons for making them. The system, known as Trademark Document Retrieval (TDR), offers the public an advanced electronic portal to PDF viewing, downloading and printing of an array of information and documents for more than 460,000 trademark applications totaling more than eight million document pages. As new applications are filed, they will be added to the database. It is expected that more than 300,000 application files will be added annually. Over the next five years, the remaining paper files of approximately 1.2 million active trademark registrations will be converted into digital format for TDR access.”
