Trademark Owner Email Address Now Masked in TSDR – USPTO Alert

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Alert

Trademark Owner Email Address Now Masked in TSDR

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office announced today that it has addressed brand owners’ and trademark counsels’ concern about the USPTO’s practice of publicly listing trademark owners’ email addresses in the online trademark record.  The USPTO will now “mask” trademark owner email address from public view.

Concerns include email spamming and trademark renewal scams. 

This is great news for brand owners and outside trademark counsel!

USPTO ANNOUNCEMENT

“We’re taking steps to address your concerns about owner email addresses being visible in TSDR. The owner email address field is now masked in TEAS and TEASi documents viewable in TSDR, including submissions viewable in the documents tab, application programming interfaces (APIs), and PDF downloads. Unrepresented owner email addresses will still be viewable in the correspondence email address field. When you open a TEAS or TEASi document in TSDR, you’ll see “XXXX” in the owner email address field. We believe this will help reduce the number of solicitations you receive.”
