System status and availability

To address threats and meet federal security requirements, all customers must switch to a more secure multifactor authentication (MFA) method when logging into your USPTO.gov account. Starting November 1, email is no longer an option to verify your identity.

Our webpage outlines options to enhance your account security. Please note you must configure one of these methods for your account by October 31.

The USPTO will perform a routine release on the Assignment Search beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, October 15 and ending at 5 a.m. ET on Monday, October 20.

Starting on October 20, 2025, Assignment Search will be live, and the two legacy systems will no longer be available. The new Assignment Search application will be found in Assignment Center.

During this maintenance period, customers will be directed to a maintenance page when accessing Assignment Center, Assignments Historical Database, Assignment on the Web, and Assignment Search as these systems will not be available. All of the following products that have links connecting to an Assignment application will be directed to the maintenance page when the assignment link is selected due to the outage of all Assignment applications:

• Trademark Trial and Appeal Board VUE (TTABVUE)
• Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TM-TSDR)
