At the USPTO a patent is read in Patent Public Search and a trademark in TSDR, two systems with different keys. Our USPTO scraper reads both and lines them up by owner.

You describe the slice you need - CPC subclasses, assignee or owner names, serial numbers, international classes, a filing date window, live or dead - and we build the crawlers for Patent Public Search, Trademark Search and TSDR, run them and repair them when the USPTO changes a screen. Both search systems are script-rendered, so page rendering, pacing, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA handling are part of the service. Once Patent Public Search asks for a USPTO.gov sign-in, as it has announced, the run uses an account registered through the USPTO's own sign-up form, or yours.
That is how to scrape USPTO records without code: you send the scope, we send rows keyed on the document ID or serial number. Runs are one-off or scheduled - daily for a trademark watch list, weekly for a patent portfolio - after a free project assessment, with field documentation in the first delivery.
The USPTO data scraper returns two record types, each on the identifier the Office itself uses. A patent document carries its patent number with a kind code, as in US 11000000 B2, and the application number it grew from, written as series and serial, as in 16/568903. A trademark carries its serial number from filing and, once registered, a registration number.
Attorney and correspondent names and e-mail addresses sit on the same case page; they are personal data, so they stay out of the rows unless a project calls for them. Delivery is CSV, JSON, JSONLines or XLSX.
Single documents are the easy part. Coverage starts from search: Patent Public Search reads three collections - US-PGPUB for pre-grant publications, USPAT for granted patents and USOCR for older patents scanned into text - and we query them by CPC code, assignee, date range or keyword, then merge on the application number so a published application and the patent it became sit in one family row.
On the trademark side, Trademark Search filters by status - Live splits into Registered and Pending, Dead into Cancelled and Abandoned - and by class from 001 to 045 plus the coordinated classes. A patent search or a trademark search becomes a list of IDs, and each ID is then read in full.
Repeated runs add what a single pass cannot show. A mark moves from pending to published for opposition to registered; a registration misses its Section 8 declaration and turns dead; an owner address changes. TSDR also carries an assignment abstract of title and a proceedings section, so transfers of ownership and opposition or cancellation cases join the record, and a portfolio can be followed owner by owner rather than mark by mark.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is the federal agency, part of the US Department of Commerce, that examines and grants patents and registers trademarks. What people call the USPTO database is several public systems, split along the same line as the Office.
Patents are read in Patent Public Search, a workspace with Quick Search and Enhanced Search, a results grid and a document viewer that shows the full publication: bibliographic block, CPC table, abstract, description and claims. A query can be as narrow as one patent number or a field-coded search across all three collections.
Trademarks are found in Trademark Search, the cloud system that replaced TESS, which lists each filing with its wordmark, status, goods and services, class, serial number and owners, and the owner's entity type and home state or country. The case file itself lives in TSDR, Trademark Status and Document Retrieval: one page per serial number with mark information, goods and services, basis, current owner, prosecution history and the documents behind them.
Status has its own vocabulary. A live mark is registered or pending; a dead trademark is abandoned or cancelled, and Trademark Search defines a cancelled mark as one whose owner failed to submit the renewal documents. A dead mark keeps its full file, which is why abandoned names stay searchable for years.

Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Eight US sources of federal records and court data, from SAM.gov contract notices to EPA ECHO violations and USPTO trademarks: what each site shows, the identifiers that join them, and how to build one dataset from several.
Data scraping is the wide term that includes documents, scans and old screens; web scraping is the part that works on websites. We compare sources, daily work, output and cost drivers, give a briefing checklist and walk through two of our projects.
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping service: we build, run and repair the crawlers and deliver the data on the schedule you set. Registers like the USPTO are a particular kind of job - two record families on stable public keys, long status histories and changes that matter more than the snapshot. Companies are collected as the register shows them; personal data is handled under GDPR and inventors, attorneys and individual owners are left out by default. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

Yes. The ScrapeIt USPTO API returns the document ID and kind code, CPC codes, assignee, trademark serial number, TM5 status and owner as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same records also come as CSV, JSONLines or XLSX files, to Amazon S3, or straight into your database.
Yes. Patent publications, trademark case files and their prosecution histories are published by the Office for anyone to read. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on the USPTO search systems and TSDR - and we collect it legally. Names of inventors, attorneys and individual owners are personal data and stay out of the dataset by default.
Yes. Trademark Search splits dead marks into Cancelled and Abandoned, and TSDR adds the status text, status date and the last prosecution entry behind each label. We pull every abandoned trademark in the classes you choose, with goods and services and owner, so you can see which names were given up and when.
The Office adds prosecution entries as it acts on a file, and each TSDR page is stamped with the time it was generated. We re-read your watch list daily or weekly and keep every status, status date and new entry, and if you ask for it we add a change file listing each mark or application whose status moved since the last run.
Yes. Each patent row carries the numbered claims as separate items, the abstract, and every CPC Current code with its inventive or additional type and date. A set can be defined by CPC subclass, assignee, publication date or a list of patent numbers, and published applications are linked to the grants they became.
You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We'll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.
Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.
Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.
Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
