Connection Tips

When docketing a non-USPTO/non-CIPO mark, you might encounter the message seen below.

There a are a few reasons why a mark might not be able to sync:

The mark is not in the third-party data aggregator's database.
- The database depends on the jurisdictions to release data for each mark, and there might be jurisdictions that release data at a slower rate than others. If a mark was recently filed, it might take some time before it can sync. In the meantime, it would be best to proceed with manually docketing the mark.
The jurisdiction is not included in the database we sync with. For a list of jurisdictions that are included, click here.
Either the mark's application or registration number are duplicated across more than one mark in that country's database. When syncing a mark, we highly recommend checking the matter title first to compare the name of the mark you're docketing with the mark suggested by the database.

ⓘ Important Note: Connection with the database is not required for docketing a trademark within Alt Legal. The system will still save any information you enter, and you still have full access to our Smart Statuses to help with docketing the associated entries.
