The USPTO’s public search facilities and trademark search library are now open in Alexandria, Virginia. 

The new facility is within five blocks of our offices.  

The facility occupies the first two floors of the Madison East Building. It consolidates current patent and trademark information sources and staff and focuses on the electronic delivery of information. The state-of-the-art facility offers 300 computer workstations providing access to the full complement of USPTO patent and trademark automated search systems, in addition to other electronic, microfilm and print resources. The public search room is open daily from 8 am to 8 pm.

The relocation of the pubic search room marks the beginning of the final phase of the USPTO’s move to Alexandria. At the conclusion of the move in early spring, 2005 over 7,000 USPTO employees and contractors will occupy the five buildings of the Alexandria campus.
