Official USPTO copies · Professional and Max
Status reports for a client report, registration certificates for a client’s file, specimens, a full file history for due diligence. Paste the serial numbers or upload a spreadsheet, tick the documents you need, and download one PDF with each mark’s documents together, plus a zip of every file. No more pulling them from the USPTO’s TSDR system one mark at a time.
Included with Professional ($249 a seat a month) and Max, and in the 7-day Professional trial.
How it works
By hand, it means opening each mark in the USPTO’s records, downloading its PDF and starting over with the next one, then putting the files together yourself. In GleanMark’s USPTO Hub, the whole list is one request.
Any mix: status reports and registration certificates, say, and nothing else. Each document you tick is fetched for every mark on the list.
Paste serial numbers, one per line. Or upload a CSV or Excel file (one serial number per row; in Excel, the first column), or fill the list from one of your GleanMark portfolios. Up to 50 marks at a time.
The USPTO allows only a few downloads a minute, so a long list arrives in waves. Keep the page open until it’s done, then download the combined PDF, the zip, or both.
The list takes serial numbers, which are 8 digits. Anything else is set aside and shown to you, and a file you upload lands in the same box first, so you see exactly what was read before anything is fetched.
The four documents
Each one comes straight from the USPTO’s records. These are official copies, not certified copies: for a certified copy, order it from the USPTO’s Certified Copy Center.
The USPTO’s record of the mark today: its status, owner, goods and services, key dates and file history.
Useful for: Telling a client where each mark stands, or checking a mark before you clear a name or buy a brand.
Issued the day the mark registered. Since May 24, 2022, the electronic certificate is the official one.
Useful for: A client who wants proof of registration for their records.
It shows the registration as it stood the day it issued. For later changes, like a new owner or a renewal, use the status report. Pending applications have no certificate yet.
The examples of use the owner filed: labels, tags, packaging, product photos, web order pages, ads for services.
Useful for: Seeing how another owner actually uses its mark, or what the USPTO accepted before you prepare a Statement of Use or a maintenance filing.
Every document the USPTO has on file for the mark: filings, Office Actions and notices. Files for older marks can be incomplete.
Useful for: Taking over a matter from another firm, or due diligence before buying or licensing a brand.
The slowest of the four to fetch.
The download
When the documents are in, download either one, or both. Each mark’s documents sit together, and the marks stay in the order you gave them.
When GleanMark fetches a document from the USPTO, it records the file’s fingerprint (its SHA-256). Your browser checks each file against that fingerprint before it goes in. A file that doesn’t match is left out and listed.
A document that couldn’t be fetched is listed on screen and on the cover page, with the reason. Retry failed asks again for just those, and keeps the copies you already have.
If a few documents fail, the rest are ready to download right away. The manifest lists every document you asked for, including the ones that didn’t come back.
Where else it opens
The USPTO Hub, in the app’s sidebar, takes any list and any mix of documents. A mark’s page, a portfolio and a response draft each have a button of their own.
The USPTO documents button in the mark’s header downloads one document for that mark as a PDF: its status report, its full file history, its specimens when it has them, or its registration certificate once it’s registered.
Official copies in the portfolio’s toolbar opens the list box. Select marks first, and Official copies in the selection bar fills it with them. From a portfolio you get status reports; for the other documents, use Fill from a portfolio in the USPTO Hub.
On the Evidence tab of a GleanMark Office Action response draft, Official copies on the Cited marks row fills the list with the cited marks’ serial numbers, for their status reports.

The USPTO’s copy, checked, with nothing hidden.
GleanMark fetches every document straight from the USPTO and records its fingerprint. Before a file goes into your PDF, your browser checks it against that fingerprint. A file that doesn’t match stays out, and the cover page says so.
The cover page lists every document you asked for, including any it couldn’t get and why. The manifest records where each file came from and when.
Included with Professional and Max. Start the 7-day trial, open the USPTO Hub and paste your first list.
