USPTO Trademark Official Gazette — word marks, rolling window, refreshed weekly

Every word mark published for opposition or registered in the USPTO Trademark Official Gazette over the last ~120 days, parsed from the weekly ST.96 XML issues and kept current by an automated pipeline. 361,260 rows across 18 weekly issues (2026-05-05 → 2026-09-01). Newest issue: 2026-09-01. Design-only marks are excluded (no text to match on).

This is a live mirror of the index behind TM Watch — a free, in-browser similarity check (edit distance + phonetic + variant forms, benchmarked on real §2(d) pairs; matcher and benchmark are open source at github.com/APVentureEngine/trademark-watch).

Quickstart

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("APProjects/uspto-trademark-gazette-word-marks", split="train")
print(ds[0])

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("https://huggingface.co/datasets/APProjects/"
                 "uspto-trademark-gazette-word-marks/resolve/main/data/gazette_word_marks.csv")
df[df["event"] == "published"].head()

Permanent per-issue copies

This mirror is a rolling ~120-day window. If you need a citable, immutable copy of a single Gazette issue, the same records are published as one CSV per issue (never rewritten) at apventureengine.github.io/trademark-watch/data/ — public domain (CC0), no login, with a manifest.json listing every issue.

Why a rolling window

A mark published for opposition can be opposed (or an extension of time requested) for 30 days from its Gazette date — the recent window is the part that is actionable. Older issues fall out as new ones arrive; a static copy of this file is stale within a week. The full historical bulk data was formerly on bulkdata.uspto.gov (decommissioned 2026-06) and now requires an authenticated USPTO Open Data Portal key; the Gazette issues themselves are public.

Not legal advice

Similarity flags are for human review; nothing here is an opinion on likelihood of confusion. Source data is a US government work (public domain).
