FAQ

Questions USPTO API owners ask.

  • 01

    Is an API Key required for USPTO API?

    No. The USPTO Open Data API is a public and free service. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.

  • 02

    What types of patents can be audited?

    You can search for utility, design, and plant patents registered in the United States, as well as patent applications and publications.

  • 03

    Is trademark image data included?

    The API primarily returns text-based metadata. For visual trademark records, your agent will retrieve the official USPTO link to the record where visual data can be viewed.
