Pricing

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: one small Start charge per run plus one Trademark record event per dataset item. See the live Pricing tab for current rates and volume discounts. Failed requests and duplicate records are not charged as results.

Tips and limits

• Start with 25–100 records, then increase maxItems after confirming the query.
• Use exact serial numbers for deterministic case lookup.
• Owner names follow USPTO public text and may include historical naming variations.
• Optional legal/mark fields can be empty because older and pending applications differ.
• USPTO can throttle or change its public service. The Actor retries temporary server failures but reports challenge or malformed responses instead of returning misleading empty success.
• This Actor exports public search records only. It does not file applications, access private correspondence, or provide legal advice.
