™️ Trademark Search — USPTO Brand Clearance, Owner Lookup & Status

Bulk USPTO trademark search by word mark, owner name, serial number, or registration number: returns mark text, owner, status, filing date, registration date, goods + services description, Nice classification, prosecution history, design code, and live + dead flag. A pay-per-result alternative to TrademarkVision, Corsearch, CompuMark Pro, and LegalZoom's trademark search tool — built for trademark attorneys running clearance searches, brand strategists checking name availability, IP-monitoring firms watching competitor filings, and startup founders verifying brand-name viability before incorporation.

Most trademark attorneys + brand teams pick this actor instead of LegalZoom's $199-per-search clearance fee because they're running dozens of searches per project — this actor is a drop-in alternative that turns a $5,000 clearance bill into $5, cheaper than Corsearch for screening + early-stage knockout searches, and drop-in JSON for downstream conflict-scoring models.

• mark_type — Word / Design / Word+Design / Standard Character
• status_code, status_description — full TESS status string
• live_dead — LIVE / DEAD
• filing_date, registration_date, abandon_date

• goods_services — full text of the description
• owner — {name, address, country, entity_type}
• attorney — listed attorney of record
• correspondent_address
• prior_registrations[]
• prosecution_history[] — every event with {date, code, description}
• design_code[] — for design marks
• disclaimers[]
• tess_url — direct link to USPTO TESS record

FAQ

Is this the live USPTO TESS or a cached dataset? Live. The actor queries TESS in real time so a filing from this morning shows up this morning.

Can I search design marks by design code? Yes — pass designCodes in the input and the actor uses USPTO's design search.

Do you cover international trademarks? Currently US-only (USPTO TESS). EUIPO + Madrid Protocol are on the roadmap.

Output formats? JSON, CSV, Excel, and the Apify dataset API.

Is this legal? Yes. USPTO TESS is a public-records system explicitly designed for third-party search.

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result / item: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform
