Sometimes, yes. In order to maintain general availability of USPTO information and services provided on the Internet, any activity or operation by a third party that has the potential to cause a denial or diminution (decrease) of services to other customers, whether generated automatically or manually, will result in the Office denying or limiting access to the Office Internet resources to that third party.
TDR 2.0 (Trademark Document Retrieval, version 2.0) is a web application that provides real-time access to the electronic file wrapper of U.S. Trademark applications and applications for Extensions of Protection, as well as U.S. Trademark Registrations. It also displays information contained in the USPTO records regarding International Registrations and applications for International Registration filed under the Madrid system through the U.S.A.
To access TDR, all that is necessary is entry of a U.S. application serial number, a U.S. or International Registration number, or a U.S. Reference Number.
(Trademark Document Retrieval) displays the electronic file wrapper of U.S. trademark applications, applications for Extensions of Protection, and U.S. trademark registrations. It also displays information contained in the USPTO records regarding International Registrations and applications for International Registration filed under the Madrid system through the United States.
The USPTO is in the process of converting all file records into a digital format to permit access via TDR. This conversion process is expected to take several years. Currently, you can access almost all pending applications and Madrid Protocol filings, as well as many registrations via TDR. However, some older trademark records may be incomplete:
A very small number of pending trademark applications that have been outside the regular Trademark Operation for several years (such as those involved in proceedings with the TTAB) are incomplete in the TDR database. These files will all be uploaded into the TDR database as we receive them, but no later than September 2005.
Some documents pertaining to Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceedings that are not accessible in TDR may be available using TTABVUE.
Applications that abandoned prior to 01 April 2003 may not be in the TDR database, or may be incomplete.
Information regarding prosecution history and current status may be accessed from the link to TARR located in the left frame of the TDR web page.
If you have a question as to whether a TDR record is complete, please contact the Trademark Assistance Center, at 1-800-786-9199, or e-mail your question to
TrademarkAssistanceCenter@uspto.gov.

Why does nothing happen when I enter a number and click the "submit" button?
1. Javascript may not be enabled in your browser. Check to see that you have javascript enabled. An information message should appear on TDR when you try to access the site without javascript enabled. If you see the message that javascript is not enabled on your browser, go to your browsers settings and enable javascript.
2. Security settings and/or programs running on your system may be interfering with the successful operation of TDR. Temporarily disable any Internet security programs and try using TDR again. If TDR now operates properly, this is the problem.
3. Most modern web browsers now employ pop-up blockers that could affect access to TDR. Turn off the ad and pop up blocking features in your browser and try using TDR. If TDR now operates correctly, configure your browser to allow pop-up windows and cookies for the uspto.gov domain.
4. Most Internet security programs allow the user to add trusted web domains that will permit user-designated sites to run web technologies that you might not trust for all sites. See the documentation for your particular security program for more information.
