📑 Trademark Gazette Scraper - USPTO TMOG and CIPO Journal

Scrape trademark gazette issues from USPTO TMOG and the CIPO Journal: marks, owners, classes and status. Run it once and you get the current records as a dataset; put it on a schedule to keep the list current.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD+
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.05	$0.05	$0.05	$0.05
Gazette Issue Digest (gazette-issue-digest)	$15.00	$13.50	$12.00	$10.05

Prices are the filed pay-per-event amounts per plan tier (PLATINUM/DIAMOND match GOLD). Blocked and refused runs do not intentionally charge value events.

Output is one report row per result; billing is pay-per-event, the value event being one gazette issue digest (a $0.05 start fee per run, then $15.00 per gazette issue digest). Source: www.ic.gc.ca, www.uspto.gov.

⚙️ Sample inputs

1. Quick start — the Store example (this is what the sample above came from)

{
  "offices": [
    "uspto_tmog"
  ],
  "keywords": [],
  "max_items": 10
}

The sample run charged exactly: 1 × $0.05 apify-actor-start + 1 × $15.00 gazette-issue-digest = $15.05 on the Free tier — every delivered row was billed.

2. A smaller, narrowed run

{
  "offices": [
    "uspto_tmog"
  ],
  "keywords": [],
  "max_items": 5
}

Caps the run at 5 rows — about $75.05 on the Free tier ($0.05 start + 5 × $15.00).

3. A full-size run

{
  "offices": [
    "uspto_tmog"
  ],
  "keywords": [],
  "max_items": 200
}

Up to 200 rows (the schema default for max_items) — about $3,000.05 on the Free tier ($0.05 start + 200 × $15.00) if the source has that many.

🔧 How it works

Source. The actor reads www.ic.gc.ca, www.uspto.gov — endpoints: https://www.ic.gc.ca/opic-cipo/tmj/eng/home.html, https://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/official-gazette/trademark-official-gazette-tmog. Public pages and feeds only; nothing behind a login.

Transport. Plain HTTPS from the Apify platform, no proxy. Every request carries an identified contact User-Agent.

Terminal states. A run ends NORMAL, CAPPED (your cap was reached), PARTIAL (something was withheld and the message says what), GENUINE_EMPTY (the source was read and truly had nothing in scope) or BLOCKED (the source refused or changed shape — the run FAILS loud and bills nothing). A zero-row run is never reported as a silent success.

Charging. Each gazette issue digest is charged at the moment it is pushed (gazette-issue-digest); a row that fails to charge is not delivered, so the dataset count always equals the charged count.

💰 Pricing example

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.05	$0.05	$0.05	$0.05
Gazette Issue Digest (gazette-issue-digest)	$15.00	$13.50	$12.00	$10.05

Worked at the live Free-tier price:

• 1 gazette issue digests: $0.05 start + 1 × $15.00 = $15.05
• 25 gazette issue digests: $0.05 start + 25 × $15.00 = $375.05
• 200 gazette issue digests: $0.05 start + 200 × $15.00 = $3,000.05

A run that delivers zero rows charges the $0.05 start fee only. A BLOCKED run (source refused) fails loud and charges no value event. The start fee is charged once per GB of run memory; the default run memory is 1024 MB.

Yield on the sample run: NORMAL: emitted 1 item(s). max_items is a hard ceiling on what is delivered and billed, never a target.

⚖️ Legal & ToS

This actor reads public, logged-out pages and feeds published by www.ic.gc.ca, www.uspto.gov. It collects only what the source publishes to any visitor, identifies itself with a contact User-Agent, and does not access accounts, private data or anything behind authentication. Use the output in line with the source's terms and your local law; the intended use is B2B research and monitoring.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need an API key or a login?
A: No. The source (www.ic.gc.ca, www.uspto.gov) is read logged-out; the input schema has no key field and the actor carries no secrets.

Q: Why did my run return 0 rows?
A: Read the run's status message. GENUINE_EMPTY means the source was read and had nothing in scope for your input; BLOCKED means the source refused and the run failed without billing a value event — retry later or narrow the input. A zero-row run bills the start fee only.

Q: How many rows can one run return?
A: Up to max_items (default 200). Raise the cap for a bigger run; you pay per delivered row.

Q: How fresh is the data?
A: Every run reads the source live at run time; nothing is cached between runs. Put it on a schedule for a continuous feed.

Q: What formats can I export?
A: The dataset downloads as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS from the run's Dataset tab or the Apify API, and any run can push to a webhook or integration.

Q: How is this different from the other premium report actors actors?
A: Same output shape and billing model; this one covers www.ic.gc.ca, www.uspto.gov. The siblings under Related Actors cover the other sources or slices — run several on one schedule for a combined feed.

Q: Are there rate limits?
A: The actor paces itself against the source; there is no per-buyer limit beyond your Apify plan's concurrency.

🆘 Troubleshooting

• Run FAILED with BLOCKED → the source refused the request or changed its page shape → nothing was billed beyond the start fee; retry after a while, and if it persists open an Issue with the run id.
• Status says CAPPED → your cap (max_items) was reached → raise it for a bigger run.
• Input validation error on start → a field is outside the schema's allowed values → start from the Quick start block and change one field at a time.
• Run TIMED-OUT → a very wide request on a slow day → raise the run timeout in Run options or narrow the input; what was delivered before the timeout is still in the dataset.
