Feature highlight: Lead Feed

Hi! This is Howard Katzenberg, GleanMark's founder. In this video, we'll walk you through GleanMark's Lead Feed. It lists trademark owners with no attorney on the USPTO record, so you can find matters that fit your practice.

Open Leads in USPTO Research. It draws on four sources: applicants facing an office action, new applicants, TTAB defendants, and owners who missed a maintenance filing.

Narrow it to the work you do. Say you handle likelihood of confusion refusals for software services. Keep office actions only, then select class 42 and 2(d). Other filters include the examiner and the applicant's citizenship.

Search by mark, applicant, serial, or proceeding number. Here's TRACERTAB. The card shows the issue the examiner raised, the estimated days left to respond, and the contact details from the USPTO record.

Click the card to open the office action. There's no response yet, no attorney of record, and the response is due February 3. The examiner refused the mark under 2(d) over a registration that also starts with Tracer, and encouraged the applicant to hire a private trademark attorney. Review the matter before deciding whether it fits your practice.

Missed maintenance lists registrations still in the six-month grace period after a missed filing, such as a Section 8 declaration or a renewal. Comcash's ten-year renewal was due November 2. The card shows the USPTO fee to file now, the days left in the grace period, and signs the business is still active. Confirm use with the owner before you file.

For Board work, select TTAB defendants: owners named in an opposition or cancellation, with no attorney on the USPTO record for their marks. Each card names the proceeding and the day it was instituted.

Under the gear, choose your filters, pick daily or weekly, and save. GleanMark emails you new matches each morning or in a Monday roundup.

Each email lists up to ten new leads, with the estimated deadline and the email address from the USPTO record, plus a link to your filtered list.

With a paid Lead Feed subscription, the download button saves your filtered list as one spreadsheet.

Find owners with no attorney on the USPTO record, in the matters you already handle. The Lead Feed is an add-on for the Professional and Max plans, and you choose which sources to add. Book a short walkthrough or sign up for a free trial at gleanmark.com.
