This summer, the USPTO launched the beta version of our brand-new Trademark Center. For six months, we’ve offered the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) and Trademark Center initial applications in parallel and used your valuable feedback to refine the new application.

On January 18, 2025, we will retire the TEAS initial application forms. Until then, you have the option to file your new application in either Trademark Center or TEAS. The cost to file remains the same in both systems.  

Transition from TEAS 

Over the next few years, we’ll gradually transition all trademark forms from TEAS and TEAS International (TEASi) to Trademark Center.

Trademark Center features 

We designed Trademark Center with valuable feedback from attorneys, paralegals, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Our new system offers:  

• A mobile-friendly design 
• A new, guided user interface 
• Drafts that automatically save every 60 seconds 
• Status tracking in a new filing docket 
• Transparent application costs that update as you go   
• Prompts to complete commonly omitted information, like personal name consent, translation, and transliteration
• Improved character limits for street, city, and docket number fields
• A draft sharing feature for attorneys and their sponsored support staff 

Training 

We’re hosting biweekly webinars to help you get familiar with Trademark Center. In the meantime, you can visit our Trademark Center page to watch demonstration videos and learn about upcoming features and enhancements.
