All notable changes to USPTO Trademark Search are recorded here. The newest release is first.
Apify renders this as a Changelog tab on the Store page. Keeping it current is a
visible signal that the Actor is maintained, which feeds the quality score that
drives Store and MCP search ranking. Add an entry with every published build.
- New
phrases input (phrase check): for each phrase the live marks that match it exactly or closely, as rows with matchedPhrase and matchType (exact or close). A phrase with no live match returns a free not_found row.
- New watch mode:
onlyNew and monitorStoreName return only marks not returned by an earlier run, so a scheduled run gives just the new filings. Skipped marks are never charged.
- Existing inputs and results are unchanged; pricing and event names are unchanged.
First public release.
- Search and extraction implemented against the source's own public endpoints, with no login and no third-party API key.
- Every row carries
status, so a missing record (not_found) and a failure (error) are told apart from real data. Only ok rows are charged.
- Records are validated against a schema before they are written, so an upstream change produces loud warnings instead of silently billing for empty rows.
- Callable with no arguments by an AI agent, which the input schema's defaults make safe.
