Throughput

TSDR allows 60 req/min per key; we pace ~55/min ⇒ ~3,300 marks/hr. Default timeout 1 h.

Data & privacy

Official TSDR case-status API (XML) only — no HTML scraping, no proxy, no browser. Owner name returned only for mismatch checks; no contact enrichment. Source: USPTO TSDR. Stateless: no watch, no memory. Note: TSDR returns 404 (not 401) for an invalid key; the Actor aborts (nothing charged) if the first 3 lookups all 404 — so a list whose first 3 serials are typos will also abort. Put known-good serials first or fix typos and re-run.

Risk notes: Sec 8/renewal counts as satisfied only on an ACCEPTED / REGISTERED AND RENEWED event. Filed-not-accepted = AMBER SEC8_FILED_PENDING; post-registration office action = RED. If TSDR events are empty/unparsed the row gets EVENTS_UNPARSED (never GREEN, never a MISSED claim). A missed Sec 8/renewal returns nextDeadline=null + CANCELLATION_EXPECTED.
