## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## TTAB Trademark Opposition & Cancellation Tracker

Search the **USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB)** for trademark **oppositions, cancellations** and other inter-partes proceedings — by company/party name or by proceeding number — and get clean, structured records: proceeding number and type, filing date, current status, the **plaintiff and defendant**, and the **marks at issue** (serial & registration numbers). Public TTABVUE data, **no login, no API key**.

If you do trademark law, brand protection, or competitive IP intelligence, TTAB proceedings are where brand disputes play out — who's opposing whom, over which marks. This Actor turns TTABVUE into a queryable feed.

### What you get

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `proceedingNumber` / `proceedingType` | TTAB number and type (Opposition / Cancellation / Concurrent Use / Interference) |
| `filingDate` / `status` / `statusDate` | When filed, current status, last status change |
| `plaintiff` / `allPlaintiffs` | The opposer/petitioner |
| `defendant` / `allDefendants` | The applicant/registrant being challenged |
| `markSerialNumbers` / `markRegistrationNumbers` | The trademark applications/registrations at issue |
| `ttabvueUrl` | Direct link to the TTABVUE record |

### Input

- **Party / company name** (`party`) — find proceedings involving a company (e.g. `Apple`, `Nike`).
- **Proceeding numbers** (`proceedingNumbers`) — pull specific proceedings directly (overrides party search).
- **Proceeding type** (`proceedingType`) — opposition / cancellation / etc.
- **Status** (`status`) — pending / terminated.
- **Max proceedings** (`maxResults`).

#### Example input

```json
{ "party": "Apple", "proceedingType": "opposition", "status": "pending" }
````

#### Example output row

```json
{
  "proceedingNumber": "91308128",
  "proceedingType": "Opposition",
  "filingDate": "2026-06-16",
  "status": "Pending",
  "plaintiff": "APPLE INC.",
  "defendant": "MACTRON GROUP CO., LTD.",
  "markSerialNumbers": ["99460555"],
  "ttabvueUrl": "https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=91308128"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Brand protection / watch** — monitor oppositions and cancellations involving your (or a competitor's) marks.
- **Trademark prosecution** — pull the full dispute history for a party before filing.
- **Competitive IP intelligence** — see who a company is fighting and over which brands.
- **Legal research & dockets** — feed structured TTAB data into your matter-management or BI tools.

### Tips

- Run on a **schedule** with a party name and diff results to catch new oppositions as they're filed.
- Use `proceedingNumbers` for a precise pull when you already have the docket numbers.
- Pairs with NexGenData's **USPTO Trademark Search** and **EUIPO Trademark Search** for end-to-end brand intelligence.

### FAQ

**Account or API key?** No — TTABVUE is public.
**Which proceedings?** Oppositions (91-series), cancellations (92), concurrent use (93), interferences (94) and ex parte appeals.
**How current?** Live from TTABVUE — newly filed proceedings appear as the Board dockets them.
