 Note that there is a reasonable [query syntax for the USPTO freeform search](http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/webaka/html/help.htm),
 in particular if you need to search variants or phonetic versions of your name.
 
+**Important: USPTO URLs**
+
+Note that many of the URLs in the USPTO's "TESS" Search System are session-specific, 
+and will **not** work if you copy the URL.  The only reliable way to send or save a link to 
+a specific page is:
+
+- Perform your search as above
+- Click on one of the specific serial number lines to see a single trademark
+- Click on the blue "TSDR" button near the top of the trademark listing
+- Copy the **entire** URL from that page, which will be something like:
+
+`https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87925939&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch`
+
+The whole URL there will work if you send it to someone else (or put it in a PODLINGNAMESEARCH).
