USPTO Debuts New Trademark Search System | Fox Rothschild LLP

On November 30, 2023, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) unveiled a new cloud-based trademark search system. According to the USPTO, the new system will provide a “more stable search environment with a simplified search interface that also supports complex searching for advanced users.”

The new system—which does not have a catchy acronym —replaces the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS). The USPTO has a few webinars on its website to help users transition to the new system.

Searching the system can help trademark applicants avoid rejection for an applied-for trademark that is too similar to an already-registered trademark.

According to the USPTO, the new system incorporates feedback from stakeholders and is designed to be more intuitive and straightforward to use.
