1. Open the documented public path for USPTO: Trademark Search (tmsearch.uspto.gov) for clearance and TSDR for status are public and no-login; filing moves through Trademark Center / TEAS which requires a verified USPTO.gov account with two-step auth.
2. Check the listed blockers and policy constraints before entering account, payment, booking, or cancellation state.
3. Stop before any irreversible or user-sensitive action and ask for explicit approval.

## Human Approval
