Trademark Electronic Search System

The Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) is an online database provided by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that allows you to search for existing trademarks and applications. It helps individuals and businesses check if a specific word, name, or logo is already registered or pending registration, which is important before applying for trademark protection. TESS provides detailed information about trademark statuses, owners, and related documents, making it a key tool for ensuring your proposed trademark is unique and avoid potential legal conflicts during the registration process.
