What is the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS)?

The Trademark Electronic Search System (“TESS”) is a public online database that can be used for searching United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) pending and registered trademarks. TESS contains both active and inactive trademark registrations, as well as applications. However, TESS does not contain any records of common law marks or state-based registrations not registered with the USPTO.
