Prosecution History & Timeline

Every trademark in GleanMark includes its complete prosecution history — every event, document, status change, and milestone from filing to current status. View it as a timeline, browse documents, or get an AI summary.

Where to Find It

Open any trademark detail page (click a mark from search results, portfolios, or alerts). Two areas cover prosecution history:

• Visual Timeline — a standalone section near the top of the detail page that shows key prosecution milestones as a flow
• The tabbed records panel further down, which includes:
  • Mark History tab — event table with every prosecution event
  • Documents tab — USPTO TSDR documents

The Timeline is its own page section, not a tab inside the records panel.

Mark History

The event table shows every USPTO event in chronological order:

• Event code — the official USPTO event code
• Description — human-readable explanation
• Date — when the event occurred
• Status-change badge — shows what registration status resulted from the event
• Document category — what type of document was filed or generated
• Importance level — key events are highlighted

Visual Timeline

The prosecution timeline shows key dates as a visual flow:

• Filing → first office action → publication → registration → renewal → expiration
• Assignment events are marked
• Abandonment is shown if applicable
• Hover for details on each milestone

Documents

The Documents tab lists all USPTO TSDR documents:

• Preview documents directly in the browser
• Download for offline access
• Document types include: office actions, specimens, amendments, registration certificates, declarations, assignments
