The Lead Feed lists people and companies with no attorney or law firm on the USPTO record, at a moment when a lawyer can help. It has three sources:
Office actions: applicants with a USPTO Office Action from the last 90 days, no response filed, and no attorney or law firm on the record.
New applications: people and companies that filed a trademark application in the last 90 days with no attorney named on the application or on the USPTO record.
TTAB defendants: owners whose application or registration faces an opposition or cancellation the Board instituted in the last 90 days, with no attorney on the USPTO record for that mark.
Every lead has an email address from the public USPTO file. Someone who qualifies under more than one source appears once, with every matter on one card. The feed checks each lead again every day, and a lead leaves once a response is filed, an attorney appears, the application is no longer live, or the TTAB case ends.
Plans and Price
The Lead Feed is a firm add-on on Professional and Max, billed per firm with your plan:
$99 a month for your first source
$49 a month for each source you add after that
So all three sources come to $197 a month. Max does not include the Lead Feed. It can be added once your plan is paid, not during the free trial.
Add or Remove a Source
The account owner or an admin manages sources in Settings → Billing, on the Lead Feed card:
Click Add for $99/month (or Add for $49/month) next to a source.
Check the amount due today, the card it goes on, and your new monthly total.
Confirm. The rest of the current billing month is charged right away, and the source is added only if that charge goes through. Access usually unlocks within a minute.
To remove a source, click Remove next to it. Its leads stop right away, and a prorated credit for the unused time goes on your next bill. Your remaining sources keep the same pricing: $99 for the first and $49 for each one after it.
In the feed itself, a source you don’t have shows a lock. When it can be bought, an Add link next to it opens the same screen in Billing.
Where to Find It
Open USPTO Research and select the Leads tab (/oa-research). Everyone in your firm’s workspace can use the feed.
Search and Results
Search mark, applicant, serial or proceeding… searches the feed.
Results are listed newest first, by the date of the Office Action, the filing, or the Board’s institution of the case.
Each card shows the lead’s matters (with dates, serial numbers and classes), the applicant or owner, and the contact details from the USPTO file, with copy buttons. Office Action cards also show the estimated response deadline and the refusals.
Use Previous and Next below the results to move between pages.
Lead Cards
Every card shows the source, the mark’s status and classes, and a Fresh tag when the event is from the last 14 days. The email address has a copy button, and the phone number appears when the USPTO file has one.
Office action cards add the estimated days left to respond, a Final tag on final refusals, each refusal and requirement, and the date of the Office Action. The applicant’s name links to their owner page, with the size of their portfolio and their city and citizenship. Click the mark to read the Office Action.
New application cards show the filing date, the applicant, and their country and citizenship. Click the mark to open the application’s record.
TTAB defendant cards show whether it is an opposition or a cancellation, the proceeding number and the date the Board instituted it, and the marks being challenged. Click through to the proceeding.
When one person qualifies for more than one matter, their card lists every matter.
Lead Filters
The Lead Filters panel narrows the list. These filters apply to every source:
Lead sources: one checkbox per source
Recency: 30, 60 or 90 days, or any number up to 90 (Office Actions by mailing date, new applications by filing date, TTAB leads by institution date)
Mark Status
Nice Classes
Owner Portfolio Size: Solo filer (1 mark), Small (2–5 marks), 6–20 marks, 21+ marks, or Unknown / N/A
Applicant Citizenship
These apply to Office Action leads only:
Refusal Type: match any or all of the refusals you select, or exclude some
OA Type: Non-Final, Final or Other. Leads from the other sources show as N/A.
Examiner
Download
The download icon in the tab row (Download selected lead sources) saves every lead that matches your filters, from the sources your firm has, as one CSV file: one row per lead, including where each contact detail came from.
Lead & Email Preferences
The gear icon opens Lead & Email Preferences. These settings are personal: teammates set their own.
Daily: each morning, with new matches
Weekly: a Monday roundup, on by default
Each email lists up to 10 leads that are new since your last email and match your saved filter, with a button that opens the rest in the feed. When nothing new matches, no email is sent. Your email filter uses the feed’s own filters, without the date range, across every source your firm has.
Contacting Leads
The Lead Feed never writes to anyone for you. The email link on a card opens a new message in your own email program. Any outreach is governed by the rules of professional conduct where you are licensed, including the rules on solicitation and lawyer advertising, and by the USPTO’s rules for practitioners. GleanMark does not give advice on them, so check them before you write.
