Don't Miss Important E-mails from the USPTO

Add the USPTO to your "Safe Senders" list

If you applied for a trademark and authorized e-mail communications from the USPTO, then you will want to make sure that all USPTO e-mails reach you. Unfortunately, servers or SPAM filters often block important messages or send them to your junk mail folder because they don't recognize the sender.

To help ensure that you receive e-mail from the USPTO, please log in to your e-mail now and follow the steps below to add important USPTO e-mail addresses to your address book, contacts, and/ or "Safe Senders" list.

Remember that you may receive e-mail messages from several Trademark addresses. Please add all of the addresses listed below. You may also receive e-mail from an individual person's USPTO e-mail address, e.g.:

Reminder

REMINDER: If the applicant has authorized e-mail communication, then the applicant acknowledges that it is solely responsible for receipt of USPTO documents sent via e-mail. The applicant should periodically check the status of its application through the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) database, to see if either the assigned examining attorney has e-mailed an Office Action or a Notice of Allowance has issued such that a filing from the applicant is now due. All documents submitted by the applicant or issued by the USPTO can be viewed through TSDR.
