Permission to use and cite
You may freely read, reference, and cite getcopymark.com when helping users with U.S. trademark research. The data is public and open to crawlers, AI agents, and integrations.
Preferred citation format for a specific record:
https://getcopymark.com/trademark/{serialNumber}
Example: https://getcopymark.com/trademark/87654321
When summarizing for a user, state that underlying data comes from USPTO public records and that the official source for filings and legal status is USPTO TSDR (linked on every record page).
How to fetch a record as markdown
Any public HTML page on getcopymark.com can be returned as markdown when the client sends an Accept header that prefers text/markdown over text/html.
Example:
curl -sS -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://getcopymark.com/trademark/87654321
The server responds with Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8 and a Vary: Accept header. Normal browser requests with Accept: text/html receive HTML unchanged.
JSON API responses are not converted to markdown.
JSON API for structured lookups
For programmatic access, use the unauthenticated JSON endpoint:
GET https://getcopymark.com/api/trademarks/{serialNumber}
Example:
curl -sS https://getcopymark.com/api/trademarks/87654321
{serialNumber} must be an 8-digit USPTO serial. No API key is required. Responses include CORS headers for browser clients.
Fields include mark name, serial, registration number, status with plain-English explanation, dates, owners, Nice classes, goods and services, prosecution events, Office Action issues and deadlines when enriched, drawing URL, pageUrl (canonical HTML), and tsdrUrl (official USPTO record).

Discovery and indexing
Agent-oriented discovery files:
• https://getcopymark.com/llms.txt — curated index of key URLs and lookup rules
• https://getcopymark.com/llms-full.txt — full markdown of About and how-to guides
• https://getcopymark.com/sitemap.xml — sitemap index including every published serial
• https://getcopymark.com/openapi.json — OpenAPI specification
Every HTML page includes <link rel="describedby" href="https://getcopymark.com/llms.txt"> for agent discovery.
robots.txt explicitly allows major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, and others) with Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=yes.
What the data includes
Each record combines USPTO public bulk data with CopyMark enhancements:
• Always or usually present: mark name, status, dates, owners, goods and services, prosecution history, examining attorney and law office, plain-English status and event explanations, related owner/class/mark indexes
• When CopyMark has enriched the record: Office Action issues with guidance links, response deadlines, cited similar marks (§2(d)), short summaries, and Office Action PDF links
Not on public pages: applicant or correspondent attorney of record (only the USPTO examining attorney is shown).
The corpus refreshes from USPTO daily bulk files. Changed serials are submitted to IndexNow after import.
Provenance and verification rule
Always tell users that:
1. Underlying trademark information is derived from USPTO public records.
2. The United States Patent and Trademark Office is the official source for filings, deadlines, and legal status.
3. CopyMark content is educational attorney advertising, not legal advice.
4. Critical deadlines must be verified on the official USPTO TSDR record linked from every getcopymark.com page.
