How to collect a company’s trademark data for MarkMyLogo.

These steps use free government and public databases. They are not part of MarkMyLogo, and their screens change from time to time. The USPTO steps below were checked against the USPTO Trademark Search on November 5, 2026.

1. Open the USPTO Trademark Search. Go to tmsearch.uspto.gov.
2. Choose Owner. The search box has a menu on its left that first says “Wordmark.” Click it, then click Owner in the list.
3. Type the owner’s name and press Enter. Use the name as it appears on the USPTO record, for example Apple Inc. Several words are searched together as a phrase.A search lists only the marks filed under the name you typed. If the owner has used other spellings (for example “Inc” and “Incorporated”), repeat the steps for each spelling.
4. Choose which marks to include. On the results page, open the filters (the icon with three lines, next to the number of results). Under Status filter, Live includes Registered and Pending marks, and Dead includes Cancelled and Abandoned marks. Leave both checked to see every mark, or uncheck Dead to see only live ones.
5. Check that the marks belong to your company. Scroll through the results. Each one shows the wordmark, status, goods and services, class, serial number and owner. Names that look alike can belong to different companies.
6. Save the results. Click Export at the top of the results and choose First 500 results. (“Results on page” saves only the page you are looking at.) Your browser saves a spreadsheet.If the USPTO asks you to sign in before exporting, sign in with your USPTO.gov account.
7. If the owner has more than 500 marks, narrow the search, for example by class or by Live and Dead, and export each part as its own file.
8. Bring the file into MarkMyLogo. In the Workspace, open Companies. Under “Or add every mark an owner has,” choose the spreadsheet (.xlsx or .csv). MarkMyLogo reads the company from the most common owner in the file and looks up each mark at the USPTO, which takes about two seconds a mark. Your plan’s limit on trademarks applies. If you exported in parts, choose each file in turn.
9. Add anything that is missing. A search export misses marks filed under a slightly different name. If you know of one, add its serial number on the same page.

1. Open the USPTO Trademark Search at tmsearch.uspto.gov.
2. Choose Field tag and Search builder. Click the search-type menu (it first says “Wordmark”) and choose Field tag and Search builder, the last item in the list.
3. Type the attorney search. Type AT:"jane smith" using the attorney’s name. The tag AT: is in capital letters with a colon, the name is in lowercase, and the quotation marks are straight quotation marks.To see live marks only, add a second term: AT:"jane smith" AND LD:true. LD:false shows dead marks.
4. Press Enter and look through the results.
5. Save the results. Click Export and choose First 500 results.
6. Export again if there are more than 500 results. The export stops at 500 rows. Add AND LD:true or a date range to split the results into smaller searches, and export each one.
7. Import the whole firm. In the Workspace, open Firm settings and find Import your trademark matters. Choose all of the spreadsheets together. MarkMyLogo lists every owner in the files. Tick the companies you want and click Import selected companies. Each owner becomes a company with a Portfolio Report, and the docket is filled in from those reports.Each mark is looked up at the USPTO, so a large firm takes some time. Keep the page open until it finishes. If you stop, choose the same files again and only the marks not yet saved are added. Your plan’s trademark limit applies.

Search TMview by applicant name

1. Open TMview. Go to tmdn.org/tmview. If a cookie notice appears, you can choose “No thanks, only essential cookies.”
2. Open the advanced search. Click Advanced search.
3. Enter the applicant. In the Applicant name field, type the company name and pick it from the suggestions that appear. The same company can be listed several ways (for example “Apple Inc.” and “Apple Inc. (US)”), and you can pick more than one.
4. Limit by country if you like. The Territories and Offices fields narrow the search to certain countries or offices. Click Search.
5. Save the results. Above the results, click Export and choose Export to Excel (PDF and Word are also offered, but MarkMyLogo needs the spreadsheet). Keep the file as it downloads. Do not rearrange the columns.
6. Bring it into MarkMyLogo. Open the company’s Portfolio in the Workspace, find the foreign marks area, and choose Import foreign marks from a spreadsheet. Marks whose country is the U.S. are skipped, because U.S. marks come from the USPTO.

Add a Madrid (WIPO) filing by hand

1. Find the filing. Look up the international registration in WIPO’s Madrid Monitor or the Global Brand Database. Note the international registration (IR) number, the countries it designates, and the status in each country.
2. Add it in MarkMyLogo. In the Portfolio’s foreign marks area, add a mark and answer “Yes: this is the WIPO international registration itself.” Enter the IR number and the designated countries.
3. Add each country’s result. For a country that has granted, refused or is still reviewing the mark, add a line and choose “Yes: this is a country designated under an international registration.” MarkMyLogo groups these lines under the WIPO registration in the report.

Once the marks are in, MarkMyLogo shows the status and next step for each one, and you can download the portfolio report as Excel, Word or PDF.
