When To Use This
Use this endpoint when you need a cross-mark view of trademark disputes, such as profiling an opponent’s history, checking whether a party usually settles or wins, or building a filtered litigation timeline for a class, office, or date window. At least one filter is required, andaggregations adds bucket maps over the exact same filtered set returned by the list query.
For an end-to-end workflow, see Opposition & Dispute Intelligence.
Query Parameters
At least one of the following must be supplied:contested_class, trademark_id, proceeding_type, status, q, party_owner_id, party_entity_id, entity_id, party_role, office_code, filed_date_gte, filed_date_lt, decision_date_gte, decision_date_lt. aggregations alone does not satisfy the filter requirement.
integer
Nice class involved in the dispute (1-45).
string
Restrict to proceedings on a specific trademark (
tm_...).string
Type of proceeding. One of
opposition, cancellation, revocation, invalidity, appeal, non_use_removal, court_action, other.string

Filter by a party owner ID (
own_...).string
Filter by a resolved or derived entity ID (
ent_...). The API expands the entity to its member owner IDs and matches proceedings where any member owner is a party.string
Alias for
party_entity_id.string
Filter by party role. One of
opponent, petitioner, respondent, intervener, other.string
Uppercase ST.3 office code (e.g.
US, EM). Legacy lowercase codes (e.g. uspto, and eu for EUIPO) are accepted as permanent aliases.string
Filed date >= (YYYY-MM-DD).
string
Filed date < (YYYY-MM-DD). Must be after
filed_date_gte.string
Decision date >= (YYYY-MM-DD).
string
Decision date < (YYYY-MM-DD). Must be after
decision_date_gte.string
Comma-separated bucket maps to include in the response. Allowed values:
outcome, party_role, nice_class, office_code, filed_year.string
default:"-filed_date"
Sort order. One of
-filed_date, filed_date, -decided_date, decided_date.integer
default:"20"
Page size (1-100).
string
Pagination cursor from a previous response.
Response
object[]
Array of proceeding summary records.
object
Present when requested. Shape:
{ aggregation_name: { bucket_key: count } }.id (prc_...), trademark_id, proceeding_type, proceeding_number, status, outcome, duration_days, office_code, filed_date, decision_date, decision_outcome, contested_classes, and description. The nullable item fields are proceeding_number, status, outcome, duration_days, filed_date, decision_date, decision_outcome, contested_classes, and description (trademark_id and office_code are always present). See Get Proceeding for parties, outcome meanings, and the trademark cross-reference.
Aggregation buckets are computed in SQL over the exact filtered proceedings set. outcome, office_code, and filed_year are single-valued dimensions, so their bucket sums reconcile with the filtered list count when their values are present. nice_class counts a proceeding once per contested class, and party_role counts a proceeding once per distinct role represented in its parties, so those bucket sums can be larger than the list count.
