Cassis dvd finder – HistoricIP

Search the USAPat or USAMark indexes. Both were sets of dvds produced by the uspto. USAPat is 1,103 dvds, USAMark is 247 dvds. The search results here show which dvd/dvds the patent or trademark is/are on. The Cassis indexes only contain one entry per patent or trademark though they can appear on multiple dvds. Trademark 2395590 is on 9 dvds but the Cassis index won't tell you where the other 8 copies are. Judging by the file sizes they aren't all the same!

There was proprietary software that came with the Cassis dvds but apparently it ran in a 32 bit operating system like Windows 95. The discs themselves can be put in a more modern Windows laptop or desktop and the tiff files can be accessed by navigating to the directory paths shown here. There were USAPat and USAMark cds released prior to 2000 whose images are in a proprietary yellow book format. These can be converted to tiffs by uploading them to this site.
