Help us identify improper specimens

We’ve started a pilot program that makes it easy to report specimens that have been digitally created, altered or fabricated.

Email us at TMSpecimenProtest@uspto.gov. Send objective evidence of either of the following:

  • Third party use of identical images to the specimen of record
  • Registration or application serial numbers whose records show identical specimens but feature different marks

See the Trademarks updates and announcements recent postings page on the USPTO website for more details on use of the TM Specimen Protest mailbox.
