Members of the public may search through the records in the Search Library and may make copies, at a nominal charge, of those which are found to be of interest. X-Search, the Office's computerized searching system, contains data and images for the marks and designations referred to above. X-Search is primarily used by examining attorneys in searching for marks during application processing. The Office's purpose in using the classification system is administrative rather than as an indication of relatedness. X-Search is available to members of the public upon payment of a fee.
Training is available.
