I am pleased to announce Plumage (Plumage-py) 1.1.0 ("The Big Sky")

Plumage is a module to obtain trademark status and information from the United States Patent & Trademark Office's (USPTO's) Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) system. It takes as input either a trademark registration number or application serial number, fetches the corresponding XML data from the PTO's TSDR website, and returns a dictionary of data associated with the specified TSDR entry.

Example:

  from Plumage import plumage
  t = plumage.TSDRReq()
  t.getTSDRInfo("2564831", "r")   # get info on reg. no 2,564,831
  if t.TSDRMapIsValid:
      print "Application serial no:", t.TSDRMap["ApplicationNumber"]
      print "Trademark text:", t.TSDRMap["MarkVerbalElementText"]
      print "Application filing date:", t.TSDRMap["ApplicationDate"]
      print "Registration no:", t.TSDRMap["RegistrationNumber"]
      # Owner info is in most recent (0th) entry in ApplicantList
      applicant_list = t.TSDRMap["ApplicantList"]
      current_owner_info = applicant_list[0]
      print "Owner:", current_owner_info["ApplicantName"]

Will print:
  Application serial no:  75181334
  Trademark text:  MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS
  Application filing date:  1996-10-15-04:00
  Registration no:  2564831
  Owner: Python (Monty) Pictures Ltd.

I first made Plumage available almost two years ago, but V1.1.0 is the first release I have formally announced. New in this release:

* Support for ST.96 V 2.2.1 (adopted by the US PTO on May 6, 2016)
* Added diagnostic where older ST.96 1-D3 is encountered
* small potential date bug fixed
