GleanMark

Counts U.S. trademark applications filed across the whole register in a date range, grouped by calendar year, month or day, with each period split into U.S.-filed and Madrid Protocol (79-series) applications and the change from the previous period. Answers questions such as how many trademark applications were filed in 2025 and how that compares with 2024, or which month of a year had the most filings. Counts are one per serial number by the filing date on the USPTO record; they are calendar periods, not USPTO fiscal-year statistics, and not class counts. Returns data_through, the latest filing date on the register; recent periods grow as late records arrive.

count_filings_by_period

Counts and previews USPTO marks by record attributes (drawing type, standard-character claim, Nice class, status, and combinations of these), with breakdowns by mark type, standard character and class, plus how complete the underlying data is. Claimed-color criteria can be combined with these attributes; counts by color alone, rankings, lists and color vocabulary are outside its scope.

count_trademarks_by_attributes

Check what role a USPTO event code plays for a deadline type (satisfies it, triggers it, abandons it, suspends it) per the deadline vocabulary table deadline_event_roles — office action response, opposition period, Statement of Use, Section 8/9/15, post-registration office action, ITU notice.

get_deadline_satisfaction_mapping

Get public, system-generated trademark deadlines for a specific mark. Accepts a serial number directly or resolves a mark name to a specific serial first. Does not expose any workspace, client, reminder, or user-created deadline data.

get_mark_deadlines

Get public, system-generated trademark deadlines across a specific owner’s marks. Uses public USPTO owner resolution only. Does not expose any workspace, client, reminder, or user-created deadline data.

get_owner_deadlines

Get the full fame profile for a brand (by mark wording or brand stem): fame tier (broad/dilution-tier vs market-specific), the fame "path" it cleared (concentrated dominant family vs large multi-class portfolio), its famous class footprint, corporate-family portfolio size and class breadth, brand-stem crowding, and TTAB enforcement history. Use to explain WHY a mark is (or is not) famous, or to profile a senior mark before a §2(d) / opposition / dilution strategy. Circumstantial signal, not statutory fame proof.

get_fame_profile

Retrieve the full USPTO record for one trademark, using an id returned by the search tool. Returns mark, owner, status, filing and registration dates, Nice classes, the goods and services text, and counsel of record, with a public gleanmark.com URL for citation.

fetch

Find USPTO trademarks similar to a given mark name. Uses examiner-style knockout search with phonetic, trigram, and component matching to identify potential conflicts. Returns similarity_score (mark-only similarity) and confusion_score (blended mark + commercial overlap). Useful for trademark clearance searches.

get_similar_marks

Resolves a trademark law firm and returns its action-required work: overdue deadlines and those in the next window, plus recent Office Actions from case-file events and prosecution documents, with flags for a filed response and for Section 2(d) refusals. Answers questions such as which correspondent tasks a firm has in the next 30 days or which recent Office Actions a firm has received.

get_firm_correspondent_tasks

Get public, system-generated trademark deadlines across marks handled by a specific law firm. Uses public firm resolution and prosecution mappings only. Does not expose any workspace, client, reminder, or user-created deadline data.

get_firm_deadlines

Resolve a trademark law firm and compute mark-level Office Action outcome rates: how many firm-handled marks registered after receiving an OA, raw and excluding pending matters. Use this for questions like "what percentage registered after an OA?" or "OA success rate for this firm".

get_firm_oa_outcomes

Traces who has owned a trademark over time: the ownership stages the USPTO recorded, from the original applicant or registrant through each later owner, plus any recorded assignment documents GleanMark holds. Answers questions such as who owns a mark now versus who filed it, whether it was sold, transferred or assigned, and how it reached its current owner, including chain-of-title and due-diligence questions. lookup_trademark shows only the current owner. Owners listed within one stage are joint owners, not successive ones. Not a title opinion.

get_chain_of_title

Look up coordinated Nice classes or related Nice classes for a given class number.

get_class_relationships

Ranks the parties that filed the most TTAB oppositions (or cancellations) across the whole Board in a date range. Answers market-wide questions such as which party filed the most oppositions in April 2026. Takes a calendar date range. One owner's record is covered by get_owner_ttab_stats, and one proceeding by get_ttab_proceeding_details.

get_ttab_top_opposition_filers

Retrieve one specific USPTO prosecution document by the stable document_id returned from list_prosecution_documents, USPTO document id, code, or date. Returns the working USPTO document link, extraction/readability status, cached document text, and optional query-centered excerpts. Use text_query when the user asks what the document says about a particular issue. Call with serial_number alone and it returns the list of documents on file (newest first) so you can pick one — no separate list_prosecution_documents call needed.

get_prosecution_document

Retrieve and read one specific TTABVUE filing by proceeding number and entry number. Returns filing metadata, a working USPTO TTABVUE viewer link, direct PDF link when available, extraction/readability status, document text, and optional query-centered excerpts. Use get_ttab_proceeding_details first when the entry number is unknown.

get_ttab_document

Get the international / foreign footprint of a U.S. trademark by serial number: its Madrid Protocol international registration (IR number, date, status, renewal), whether it was filed as a 66(a) Madrid extension, Madrid maintenance (§8/§15, renewal), and the foreign applications/registrations it claims as priority or basis (country, registration number, dates). Use this for ANY question about a mark's foreign, international, Madrid Protocol, WIPO, or EUIPO registrations. Data comes from USPTO records, so it is only available for marks with a USPTO record — it does not query WIPO/EUIPO live.

get_mark_international_profile

Returns the most recent Office Action for a trademark serial number, the latest recorded response if there is one, and the refusal grounds parsed from the Office Action text, with the cited registration numbers. refusal_grounds is taken from the text of the action, not from the document title.

get_latest_office_action

Find entities likely related to a trademark owner (predecessors, subsidiaries, sister companies) from USPTO evidence: shared ownership history on the same marks, shared filing addresses (agent addresses excluded), and shared distinctive name tokens. Returns evidence and a high/possible confidence tier per hit — treat 'possible' as tentative. Use when analyzing an owner's full corporate family, portfolio scope, or whether two owners of similar marks are actually affiliated. Pass the owner name exactly as recorded (resolve with resolve_trademark_subject first if ambiguous).

get_owner_related_parties

List prosecution documents for a trademark serial number, including stable document identifiers, working USPTO links when available, extraction/readability status, office actions, responses, notices, and other dated filings. Use get_prosecution_document to read one selected document.

list_prosecution_documents

Get information about Nice Classification classes used for trademark registration. Lookup specific class numbers or search for classes by keyword.

get_nice_classes

Get detailed information about a specific USPTO trademark by its serial number. Returns owner, status, filing dates, goods/services, correspondent (attorney/law firm of record — use this for "which firm represents/is correspondent for" questions), and more.

lookup_trademark

Get all trademarks handled by a specific attorney/correspondent, with prosecution event counts and office action flags. Returns marks sorted by prosecution history length. Use this for attorney-specific mark queries.

get_correspondent_marks

Get a trademark owner's filing trends over time — yearly filing counts broken down by Nice class. Shows how the owner's trademark portfolio has evolved.

get_owner_filing_trends

Get the most frequent goods/services keywords for a trademark owner. Shows what products and services the owner focuses on, useful for understanding their brand strategy and identifying class patterns.

get_owner_goods_keywords

Show which owners hold marks matching a shared trademark term and summarize what else those owners have in their broader portfolios. Use this for crowded owner-landscape questions like "Which companies own a trademark for COMET?" or "Who owns trademarks for GLEAN?" Returns the matching owners ranked by footprint, with each owner's wider portfolio context.

get_mark_owner_landscape

Get a compact prosecution summary for a trademark serial number. Returns current status, document counts, latest office action/response dates, milestones, and the latest key event.

get_mark_prosecution_summary

Get the prosecution timeline for a trademark — chronological list of office actions, responses, and key events (publication, registration, suspension, etc.). Raw data without AI analysis.

get_prosecution_timeline

Recommend Nice trademark classes based on a business description. Returns the most relevant classes with confidence scores and explanations.

recommend_nice_classes

Look up USPTO or TTAB reference codes and small lookup tables such as status codes, statement types, legal entity types, Nice classes, design codes, and TTAB proceeding/status/role codes.

get_reference_lookup

Research the Office Action for a trademark — returns structured refusal categories, latest OA/response context, cited marks, and third-party registrations that support coexistence arguments. For authenticated users this launches asynchronously (typically 1-2 minutes) and returns a processing handle used to retrieve the completed result once ready.

research_office_action

Matches a name to one trademark entity (an owner, law firm, correspondent, mark, TTAB proceeding, client or portfolio) and returns the match with its identifiers, or the top candidates when the name is ambiguous. Resolving clients and portfolios requires a signed-in account.

resolve_trademark_subject

Runs a scored trademark conflict (knockout) search over 14M USPTO records with the same engine as the GleanMark app: exact, phonetic, trigram and component-word matching, coordinated class expansion, foreign-equivalent translation and design codes, scored for mark similarity and commercial overlap. Returns results grouped into four risk tiers (very high, high, medium, low) with confusion scores, a four-level headline verdict (critical conflicts, elevated risk, moderate risk, low risk) with a one-line reason, and a sample of dead marks in the same naming territory. goods_description, when supplied, is scored for goods and services relatedness; without it, scoring uses classes only, which understates conflicts between related goods in different classes. owner_name adds the applicant's existing marks in the searched classes. It searches trademarks only, not domains or web use; check_brand_availability covers domains. Most searches finish in under a minute. Requires a signed-in GleanMark account.

run_knockout_search

Runs a constrained analytics query over owners, law firms and correspondents (rankings, counts, snapshots and timelines) and returns the results without exposing database details. Suited to custom aggregate business questions that a single search or summary tool does not answer.

run_safe_analytics

Search GleanMark's USPTO trademark database and return citable results. Each result is a US trademark record with a stable id, a human-readable title (mark, owner and status) and a public gleanmark.com URL. Use the fetch tool with a returned id to read the full record. Covers 14M+ USPTO applications and registrations, live and dead.

search

Full-text search over the goods and services identifications of 14M USPTO marks, for questions such as which other owners claim a product in their goods (competitive landscape, descriptiveness or crowded-field evidence, identification drafting precedent). Keyword-based: the query is tokenized and matched against each mark's indexed goods keywords (match_mode all requires every keyword, any requires at least one). Rows include a short excerpt around the matched clause, not the full identification. mode=count returns how many marks claim the goods, with class and status breakdowns; mode=top_owners ranks the owners claiming them; neither returns rows. Searches goods and services text, not mark names; run_knockout_search and search_trademarks search mark names.

search_goods_services

Searches the statements the USPTO records on a trademark: disclaimers ("no claim is made to PIZZA apart from the mark"), descriptions of the drawing ("the mark consists of a red and white striped awning"), translations of foreign wording, and claims of prior registrations. Answers questions such as which marks disclaim a word or which marks are described as stripes. Modes: count, top_terms, top_owners, list_marks, by_serial (every statement on one mark) and statement_types. mode=top_terms with nice_class ranks the most-disclaimed terms in a class with per-term mark counts (disclaimers only); its status filter accepts live (registered and pending together), any or dead, so a registered-only ranking is not available. A single term's registered-only count is available with mode=count, text set to the term, and status=registered. Color claims are searched with search_claimed_colors.

search_mark_statements

Finds trademarks whose whole mark sounds like the given mark, using Metaphone codes and trigram similarity with a whole-mark threshold. Because it compares entire marks, a multi-word mark that only contains a sound-alike word is not returned: for QUICK, KWIK REWARDS does not appear even though KWIK sounds like QUICK. An empty or short result does not show that no sound-alike marks exist and is not a clearance result; run_knockout_search is the conflict search.

phonetic_search

Searches or counts U.S. trademarks by the colors they claim, parsed from USPTO color-claim statements. Two levels: level="family" (16 color families; red also finds dark red, maroon and burgundy) and level="shade" (the exact term claimed, e.g. dark red). match="all" finds marks claiming at least the given colors, match="only" marks claiming exactly those colors, and match="only_bw" the same while also allowing black and white. claimed=false counts marks whose statement says color is not claimed. Modes: count, top_owners, list_marks, vocabulary (the valid families or shades with counts), explain_term (the family a shade belongs to) and by_serial (what one mark claims).

search_claimed_colors

Search for trademark owners by name. Use this to resolve or list candidate owners, not for owner counts, rankings, prosecution snapshots, or recent activity checks. Returns matching companies/individuals with their trademark portfolio statistics (total marks, live/dead counts, registered/pending).
