REQUIREMENTS FOR MAINTAINING A FEDERAL TRADEMARK REGISTRATION |
WARNING: Your registration will be canceled if you do not file the documents below during the specified 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 for the remainder of the ten-year period, calculated from
the registration date, unless canceled by an order of the Commissioner for Trademarks or a Federal Court. |
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 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, owners of international registrations do not file renewal applications at the USPTO. Instead, the holder 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 http://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/. |
***The USPTO WILL NOT SEND ANY FURTHER NOTICE OR REMINDER OF THESE REQUIREMENTS. THE REGISTRANT SHOULD CONTACT THE USPTO ONE
YEAR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE TIME PERIODS SHOWN ABOVE TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS AND FEES.*** |
