正如我们最近所提到的,我们正在改进专利和商标申请人和网页访问者经常使用的搜索工具,以提供更多元化、可靠的搜索体验。为此,我们很高兴地宣布推出我们新的商标搜索系统的测试版。
这个新的基于云端的搜索系统将取代我们目前的系统(商标电子搜索系统,即TESS),使搜索商标注册和/或申请更加简便 - 这对于任何有志于保护自己品牌的企业来说都是必要的一步。我们的新系统提供了更加强大的行业标准搜索语法,并提供了简化的基本搜索界面以及更复杂搜索的高级搜索界面。
虽然客户仍然可以使用TESS,但它将在今年晚些时候被永久停用,我们将在接下来的几个月内公布正式的停用日期。为了帮助过渡到我们的新搜索工具,我们提供了多次虚拟演示和培训,以确保您对其使用感到舒适和熟悉。每个会议将涵盖系统功能,并在结束时进行问答环节(注意:每个会议涵盖的信息都是相同的)。我们邀请您参加以下其中一次直播会议:
9月26日(星期二)上午11点至中午12点(东部时间)
9月28日(星期四)下午3点至4点(东部时间)
今年秋季,我们将举办更多关于基本联邦商标搜索和高级联邦商标搜索的正式培训网络研讨会。
我们的改进工作永远不会结束。我们欢迎您对测试版的反馈,以帮助进一步加强系统。请在新商标搜索系统网页的右侧找到蓝色的“反馈”按钮,向我们提供建议。

Introducing the USPTO’s new cloud-based trademark search system with basic and advanced search options
September 18, 2023
As we recently noted, we are improving our search tools frequently used by patent and trademark filers and web visitors to provide a more multi-faceted, reliable search experience. To that end, we are excited to announce the launch of the beta version of our new trademark search system.
This new, cloud-based search system will replace our current system (Trademark Electronic Search System, or TESS) to make searching for trademark registrations and/or applications easier – a necessary step for any aspiring or current business owner looking to protect their brand. Our new system provides users with a stronger industry-standard search syntax and offers both a simplified, basic search interface as well as a more advanced search interface for more complex searching.
Though customers may still use TESS, it will be permanently retired later this year, and we will share the official retirement date in the next few months. To assist with the transition to our new search tool, we are offering multiple virtual demonstrations and trainings to ensure comfort and familiarity with its use. Each session will cover system capabilities and end with a question-and-answer period (note: the information covered in each session will be identical). We invite you to attend one of the following live sessions:
Register for Tuesday, September 26, from 11 a.m. to noon ET
Register for Thursday, September 28, from 3-4 p.m. ET
This fall, we will be holding more formal training webinars on basic federal trademark searching and advanced federal trademark searching.
Our improvements are never done. We welcome your feedback on the beta release to help further strengthen the system. Look for the blue “feedback” button on the right side of the new trademark search system webpage to send us suggestions.
For more information on the new trademark search tool or to learn more about the upcoming transition away from the TESS system, please visit the search trademark database webpage of the USPTO website.
