REQUIREMENTS FOR MAINTAINING A FEDERAL TRADEMARK REGISTRATION |
| WARNING: Your registration will be canceled if you do not file the documents below during the specified statutory time periods. |
| Requirements in the First Ten Years |
| First Filing Deadline: You must file a declaration of use (or excusable nonuse) between the 5th and 6th years after the registration date. See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1141k. If the declaration is accepted, the registration will continue in force, unless canceled by an order of the Commissioner for Trademarks or a Federal Court, as long as the requirements for maintaining the registration are fulfilled as they become due.
|
| Second Filing Deadline: You must file a declaration of use (or excusable nonuse) and an application for renewal between the 9th and 10th years after the registration date.* See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1059.
|
| Requirements in Successive Ten-Year Periods |
| What and When to File: You must file a declaration of use (or excusable nonuse) and an application for renewal between every 9th and 10th-year period, calculated from the registration date.* See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1059.
|
|
The above documents will be considered as timely if filed within six months after the deadlines listed above with the payment of an additional fee.
|
| *ATTENTION MADRID PROTOCOL REGISTRANTS: The holder/owner of an international registration with an extension of protection to the United States under the Madrid Protocol must timely file the declarations of use (or excusable nonuse) referenced above directly with the USPTO. The time periods for filing are based on the U.S. registration date (not the international registration date). The deadlines and grace periods for the declarations of use (or excusable nonuse) are identical to those for nationally issued registrations. See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1141k. However, holders/owners of international registrations do not file renewal applications at the USPTO. Instead, the holder/owner must file a renewal of the underlying international registration at the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization, under Article 7 of the Madrid Protocol, before the expiration of each ten-year term of protection, calculated from the date of the international registration. See 15 U.S.C. §1141j. For more information and renewal forms for the international registration, see https://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/.
|
| ***THE USPTO IS NOT REQUIRED TO SEND ANY FURTHER NOTICE OR REMINDER OF THESE REQUIREMENTS. THE HOLDER/OWNER SHOULD CONTACT THE USPTO ONE YEAR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE TIME PERIODS SHOWN ABOVE TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS AND FEES.*** |
