The United States Patent and Trademark Office provides online systems for searching patents and trademarks, filing applications, and managing registrations. When USPTO services go down, filers and attorneys may lose access to critical deadlines and records. This page tracks reported problems across USPTO tools, including EFS-Web, TSDR, and public search platforms.
The USPTO operates several distinct systems. Patent examiners and applicants use filing portals, while the public relies on search tools like Patent Public Search and TESS for trademark research. These systems run on different infrastructure, so one can fail while the rest work normally. Common issues include slow search results, failed document uploads, login errors on USPTO.gov accounts, and missing status data in TSDR or Patent Center. Scheduled maintenance windows also cause temporary outages, usually announced in advance. Before reporting a problem, check your USPTO.gov account credentials and try a different browser. Clear cached files if pages load incorrectly. If a filing deadline is approaching and systems stay down, note the outage period — the USPTO has procedures for petitioning when technical failures affect filings.

Patent filing, trademark systems, and public search run on separate platforms. An outage in Patent Center does not necessarily affect TSDR or trademark search, which is why this page lists each service type individually.
