Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS)

The Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) is an online database provided by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). It allows users to search for registered trademarks and trademark applications. Businesses and individuals can use TESS to check if their desired trademark is already in use or similar to existing marks, helping to avoid potential legal issues. By navigating TESS, users can access important information about trademarks, including their status, owner, and filing details, making it a valuable tool for anyone looking to protect their brand or product identity.
