You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## USPTO Trademark Portfolio Report **One priced report that watches your whole trademark family for the two deadlines that cost clients marks: the 30-day opposition window and the §8/§9 maintenance-and-renewal clock.** Feed in your portfolio's serial and/or registration numbers (up to 50) and get back a per-mark status plus a single rendered **portfolio risk digest** — built entirely from the public, logged-out **USPTO Trademark Official Gazette**. For an IP-counsel or docketing team, one run is a per-portfolio risk sweep: a fraction of a single docketing-software seat, with no seat minimums, no annual contract, and no login to a paid database. Run it weekly against your family and you have a standing opposition/renewal early-warning line for the price of a report, not a platform. ### What you get - **`portfolio_report`** — one rendered Markdown risk digest (also stored in the key-value store under `PORTFOLIO_REPORT`), leading with open **opposition windows**, then **maintenance & renewal deadlines**, a ranked **deadline-risk** table, and the quiet marks. This is the single charged deliverable. - **`mark_status`** — one structured record per portfolio mark: observed Gazette events, computed opposition/maintenance deadlines with risk bands, risk flags, and the source issue/page each fact was read from. Never separately billed. - **`source_receipt`** — always emitted, never billed: index/issue terminal state, canary result, pages parsed, byte/request counters. ### How deadlines are derived - **Opposition window** — from a `PUBLICATION_FOR_OPPOSITION` event: deadline = publication + 30 days (15 U.S.C. §1063), flagged `OPPOSITION_WINDOW_OPEN` while open. - **Maintenance / renewal** — from a printed registration date: §8 Declaration at year 6, combined §8&9 renewal at year 10 and every 10 years thereafter, each with a 6-month grace period. Risk bands: `OVERDUE` / `IN_GRACE` / `DUE_SOON` / `UPCOMING` / `OK`. ### Honest limits Public / logged-out **Official Gazette only** — not TSDR live status, not legal docketing, not comprehensive clearance, not legal advice. The Gazette is **weekly and event-oriented — absence proves nothing**: a mark not seen in the scanned issues is reported as `no_recent_gazette_activity`, and maintenance deadlines are computed only for marks whose registration or renewal was printed in a scanned issue. Deadline math is arithmetic on printed dates; confirm against the official record. TSDR/ODP APIs are excluded because they now require an account/API key. Deterministic, no LLM. Blocks and malformed issues fail loud (`Actor.fail`) — never a clean empty, and never a charge. ### Compliance Logged-out official USPTO PDFs only. No login, API key, CAPTCHA or paywall defeating; no licensed source or third-party mirror; robots honored. Identity is office + serial/registration number; official Gazette event codes only — legal outcomes are never inferred. ### Pricing `apify-actor-start` $0.05 (one-time, platform-charged). `portfolio_report` is charged **exactly once per run and only on successful delivery** — a valid mark list that produces a report charges once; a source failure charges nothing. # Actor input Schema ## `serialNumbers` (type: `array`): Portfolio trademark serial numbers, each exactly 8 digits after punctuation removal. Combined with registrationNumbers, up to 50 marks per run. ## `registrationNumbers` (type: `array`): Portfolio registration numbers, each 1-8 digits after punctuation removal. Combined with serialNumbers, up to 50 marks per run. ## `issuesToScan` (type: `integer`): How many of the latest weekly USPTO Official Gazette issues to scan for portfolio activity (1-4). Each issue is a large public PDF; more issues widen the opposition/registration lookback. ## `maxPagesScanned` (type: `integer`): Optional hard cap on Gazette PDF pages scanned per issue. Bounds runtime on the very large official PDFs; a capped scan is reported PARTIAL but still delivers the report. ## `includeGoodsServices` (type: `boolean`): Extract printed identification-of-goods text where present (capped 20,000 chars/record). ## `asOfDate` (type: `string`): YYYY-MM-DD reference date for opposition/renewal deadline math. Null means the run date. Deterministic when supplied. ## `useApifyProxy` (type: `boolean`): Route requests through Apify Proxy. Off by default: the official PDFs are public and download faster directly. A proxy never turns a block into success. ## Actor input object example ```json { "registrationNumbers": [ "1078312", "1323343" ], "issuesToScan": 2, "maxPagesScanned": 50, "includeGoodsServices": true, "useApifyProxy": false } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
