The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) announced a new searchable electronic version of the Trademark Official gazette (TMOG).
On September 24, 2013, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) released a new searchable electronic version of the Trademark Official Gazette (TMOG). The new version has TMOG data beginning on August 27, 2013 and thereafter. As requested by the public after earlier beta testing, the new searchable format includes searching, filtering and downloading features. For example, users can now:
  • View a consolidated list of the cases appearing in up to five issues of the TMOG simultaneously.
  • Gather up to 200 cases (a collection) that they can then e-mail to others.
  • Create a PDF of the cases in the collection.
  • Download the contents of the entire issue in PDF format.
  • Play multimedia representations of trademarks that have them.
  • Change the order and content appearing in the list/result set.
  • Change the list/result set view into a grid view.
  • View the details of a single case that appears in the TMOG.
  • Use an API to get a copy of the entire issue of the TMOG in PDF format.
The USPTO has said there will be further improvements to the TMOG, including the ability to download the data in XML tagged format, later in 2013. The USPTO encourages the public to send feedback and suggestions by e-mail to [email protected].
