A real search, run September 27, 2026The syntax

What it does

Search the register the way an examining attorney does.

Narrow a search one clause at a time, keep every step, and end with the exact set of marks your query describes.

28 field codes

Search the mark, owner, goods and services, drawing description, classes, design codes, dates, status, filing basis and claimed colors, each with its own code.

Wildcards and sound-alikes

Use * and ? anywhere. Or expand a name into its sound-alike spellings and check them before you run: AURORA also catches AURURA and AURORE.

Numbered steps you can combine

Every run becomes a step, #1, #2, #3. Combine any of them with AND, OR and NOT, or refine a step with one more clause.

Who owns the results

Each step shows how many different owners its marks belong to, and which owner holds the most.

A record for the file

Export the session as a PDF that shows how the search was run, or the results as a spreadsheet with the full record, goods and services included.

Save it, come back to it

Save a session and reload it later, steps and all, to pick up a search where you left it.

Beyond the mark

Search the parts of the record other tools skip.

A logo’s design codes, the words in its drawing description, the colors an owner claims, the basis it was filed on. Each is a field code you can combine with the rest.

Exhaustive, not ranked

The whole set, and how you got it.

A ranked search shows what is most likely to matter. A clearance file needs more: every mark your query describes, and a record of the query itself.

TESS Search gives you both. The count is exact, each step is logged, and the session exports as a PDF.

Questions attorneys ask

Professional and Max, and the 7-day free trial, which runs on Professional.
