USPTO Trademark New Filings Feed (own USPTO API key)

Get every new U.S. trademark application filed by a company, every day, straight from the USPTO's official bulk data (Trademark Daily Applications XML), filtered by Nice class or keyword. One clean row per filing: mark text, classes, goods and services, filing basis, status, filing date, company applicant and a link to the official TSDR record. Bring your own free USPTO API key.

Not legal advice. This is a data feed of new filings, not a trademark clearance or similar-mark watch service. Talk to a trademark attorney before relying on it.

What does the trademark filings feed return?

serialNumber, filingDate, markText, markDrawingCode, internationalClasses, goodsAndServices, filingBasis (use, intent to use, foreign, Madrid), statusCode, applicantOrganization, applicantType (corporation, LLC, partnership...), applicantState, applicantCountry, tsdrUrl.

Companies only, no personal data

• Filings by individuals, sole proprietors, estates, trusts or any applicant type that may be a person are skipped, including filings where any co-owner is an individual.
• Attorney names, correspondents, emails, phone numbers and street addresses are never read into the output. Only the applicant company's name (optional, includeApplicantCompanyName) and state/country are kept.

Your USPTO API key: used only for your run

Getting a key requires a USPTO.gov account (with multi-factor login), ID.me identity verification and four Open Data Portal profile fields; see data.uspto.gov/apis/getting-started. Your key is used only for your run, sent only to api.uspto.gov (never to the signed download link), and never stored, logged or shown: not in the dataset, key-value store, logs, status or error messages; echoes are masked.

USPTO limits respected

At most one daily file download every 2.2 seconds (USPTO allows 5 files per 10 seconds per IP), one download per day-file per run, and a stop as soon as the USPTO reports a download limit. The USPTO caps repeat downloads of the same file per key per year (20 for most files, higher for XML), so schedule it once a day with a 1-day look-back.

Monitor mode

Turn on monitor mode (monitorMode) to output only new company filings that match your filters. Filings already delivered under the same monitor name (monitorStateName) are skipped and not charged. Use a different monitor name for each watch list. Schedule the Actor once a day with a 1-day look-back so each USPTO daily file is downloaded once.

Example output

markText	internationalClasses	goodsAndServices	applicantType	filingBasis
ROBOFLUX	009	Computer software for robots	Corporation	intent to use (1b)
BRIGHT BREW	030	Coffee and tea	Limited liability company	intent to use (1b)

Pricing

Users on the free Apify plan get up to 100 results per run (then the run stops with a clear status message).

Pay per event: $0.003 per new filing delivered. Old-case updates, individual applicants and filtered-out filings are free. Example: watching classes 9 and 42 with a few keywords usually yields tens of filings a day, so about $0.05-0.30 a day; an unfiltered daily feed of a few thousand company filings costs roughly $5-10. Free Apify plan users get up to 100 filings per run.

FAQ

Is this a similar-mark watch? No. It matches exact keywords and classes only. Why is my key needed? The USPTO only allows bulk-data downloads with a personal key. How fresh is it? The USPTO posts each day's file the next morning.

Is it legal?

It downloads the USPTO's official public bulk data through its API with your own key, within the USPTO's published limits and terms, and excludes personal data. Not legal advice.
