--- license: other license_name: us-government-work license_link: https://www.usa.gov/government-works pretty_name: USPTO Trademark Bulk XML (Bronze Mirror) tags: - trademarks - uspto - legal viewer: false --- # USPTO Trademark Bulk XML — raw source mirror Verbatim mirror of the USPTO Open Data Portal bulk products **TRTYRAP** (Trademark Full Text XML Data, No Images — Annual Applications) and **TRTDXFAP** (Daily Applications): zips of XML conforming to the US Trademark Applications v2.0 DTD, exactly as served by USPTO. Why this mirror exists: pulling these files from USPTO requires a personal, ID.me-verified API key, and the portal does not retain superseded files. This repo is **append-only** — annual snapshot editions and daily files accumulate here even after USPTO rotates them out, so any historical build of the derived dataset can be reproduced. - `annual/` — complete backfile snapshots, one edition per completed year (`apc--.zip`; the END date is the coverage cutoff). - `daily/` — daily update files (`apcyymmdd.zip`), each carrying the complete current record of every case with activity that day. The analysis-ready relational Parquet derived from these files lives in the companion silver dataset. License: United States government work — public domain.
