# Patent and Trademark Office — the long-form archive

Everything Patent and Trademark Office has published while this archive has been running: 5 documents across 4 days, oldest first.

Coverage begins on 2026-08-11, which is when this archive started holding Federal Register
issues — not when the agency started publishing. Anything earlier is absent from this page and
its absence is not evidence.

## Ask an assistant instead

Everything on this page is also a tool call. Add `mcp.downstream.sh` as an MCP server — no key, no
account — then paste this:

```
Using the Downstream MCP server at mcp.downstream.sh, call whats_new_since with agency "Patent and Trademark Office" since 2026-08-11, then tell me what this agency has been working on and which of its deadlines are still open.
```

Reaches `whats_new_since`. The response carries its own citations and states what it is missing,
including which dates it has no record for.

Every document linked here is a work of the United States government and in the public domain.
The Federal Register's HTML and XML renderings are unofficial; the PDF on each item is the
official text, and that is the one to cite.

Counts are arithmetic over published fields, dates are printed as filed, and titles are verbatim.
Where we have nothing, this says nothing rather than estimating. The one-sentence agency summaries
are machine-written from those same fields and are labelled where they appear.
