Also, please note that the TARR database may not properly reflect any Assignment information. This is critical when making Intent-to-Use (ITU) and Post Registration (PR) filings through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). All ITU and PR filings must be in the name of the current owner. However, TEAS pre-populates the owner information with whatever information is in TARR. Because the Assignment information may not be in TARR, the displayed owner information may not be correct. Therefore, if the TEAS form does not reflect the current ownership information, you must 1) if not already filed, file an actual change of name document/assignment and recordation form PTO-1594, available at http://etas.uspto.gov/; and 2) once the new owner information has been recorded, delete the pre-populated information and enter all of the new owner information. The owner name should be followed by the assignment information; e.g., XYZ Corporation (by assignment, reel ___ frame ____).

Finally, please note that the TARR database only displays "current" information. Unlike the TRAM database, which is an internal USPTO database only, TARR will not specifically reflect deleted goods and/or services. Whereas TRAM shows deleted goods or services within brackets, e.g., [computer software for on-line access to business information], TARR will simply not display that information at all---- the presumption being that any goods and/or services not displayed in a TARR record have been deleted at some point in the prosecution. Nor will TARR ever display the word (CANCELLED); again, the presumption is that the absence of any goods and/or services within a listing, or the absence of even an entire class listing, is the result of an earlier deletion by the applicant or registrant.
