## Pricing

from $2.80 / 1,000 trademarks

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## USPTO Trademark Status (TSDR)

Check **US trade marks** in bulk in the official **USPTO TSDR** (Trademark Status & Document Retrieval) system.

### Input

Serial numbers (8 digits, e.g. `78787878`) or registration numbers (`rn 4459437`, or a bare 7-digit number).

### Output (one row per mark)

| Mark | Serial | Reg. no. | Status | Live | Status date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAC MEMPHIS ATHLETIC CAMPUS | 78787878 | | DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated | false | 2007-09-25 |
| ADVANSORB | | 4459437 | LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active | true | |

Fields: serial and registration number, mark, status (USPTO TM5 status), status detail and date, live or dead, filing, registration and abandonment dates, standard characters, international classes, goods and services, current owners (name, entity type, country, role), TSDR link.

### Uses

- **Portfolio monitoring:** run your marks weekly and catch status changes.
- **Due diligence and clearance:** check marks found in a search before you rely on them.

### Price

**$0.004 per mark.** Not found is free.

USPTO allows 60 lookups a minute per key, so large lists take about a minute per 60 marks. Source: USPTO TSDR API. For EU trade marks use our EUIPO actor.

# Actor input Schema

## `numbers` (type: `array`):

One per line: serial number (8 digits, e.g. 97123456) or registration number with rn prefix (rn 4459437). 7-digit numbers are read as registration numbers.

## `treat7DigitsAsRegistration` (type: `boolean`):

Read bare 7-digit numbers as registration numbers.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "numbers": [
    "78787878",
    "rn 4459437"
  ],
  "treat7DigitsAsRegistration": true
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

All rows as JSON.

## `overview` (type: `string`):

The main fields as a table.

## `csv` (type: `string`):

The results as a CSV file.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "numbers": [
        "78787878",
        "rn 4459437"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("factline/uspto-trademark-status").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "numbers": [
        "78787878",
        "rn 4459437",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("factline/uspto-trademark-status").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "numbers": [
    "78787878",
    "rn 4459437"
  ]
}' |
apify call factline/uspto-trademark-status --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,factline/uspto-trademark-status"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
