Since when does the TTABVUE database contain TTAB proceedings?

The TTABVUE database, which is the online system for accessing information on proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), first became available in the year 2001. This was a significant development for trademark practitioners and the public, as it allowed for easier access to case information, filings, and decisions related to trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings. By centralizing this information in a digital format, the TTABVUE database promoted transparency and enhanced the efficiency of the trademark process. Prior to 2001, access to such proceedings was less streamlined and relied on more traditional means, which could be cumbersome.

The other options reflect years before or after 2001, which would not align with the launch of the TTABVUE database and therefore do not provide the correct context regarding when this resource became accessible.
