US - New features on USPTO's Trademark Electronic Search System

The USPTO has added new features to their Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS).

The first new feature is called 'Image List', which allows the user to view the mark drawings when displaying the search results.

"After completing a search, use the “Image List” button at the top of the page to view search results using this new feature. By selecting a drawing via a mouse click, the user can also toggle to the document display for that the selected mark. Returning to the Current List from the document display returns the user to the last used view of the search hit list, the text view or the images view."

Information about the "Image List" option is available here.

Another new feature is the ability to do multiple searches at once. Multiple searching is conducted by placing a comma between each search item in the Free Form search screen. "For example, the three searches HELLO[BI,TI]; WORLD[BI,TI]; S1 AND S2; could be submitted as a first search of a session. All three searches will be performed, and an intermediate Multiple Searches screen appears with the results of each search. The user may then select which search results to review.

Information about multiple searches is available here.
