While the
official record for trademark applications and registrations is maintained
electronically at Trademark Status & Document Retrieval
(TSDR), some trademark file records indicate a physical location of “File
Repository (Franconia)”. However, the Franconia facility is closing, and trademark paper records previously stored
there are no longer available for retrieval.
Most
paper files have been destroyed, but a small number have been moved to the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) or the Federal Records
Center. A location of “NARA” or “Federal Records Center” may be shown for these records.
If you believe a document in the electronic
prosecution history of a trademark registration or application is
missing from the TSDR record, please send an email request for correction
to TrademarkAssistanceCenter@USPTO.gov.
