Maintaining your U.S. trademark registration with the USPTO - required USPTO submission. The holder/owner of the
trademark registration must file an acceptable Declaration of Continued Use/Excusable Nonuse of Mark in Commerce Under Section
71 (Section 71 Declaration) between now and November 15, 2021. For an additional fee, the holder/owner can file this document within the 6-month grace period that
ends on May 16, 2022. If the holder/owner fails to file a timely Section 71 Declaration, the U.S. registration will be cancelled and cannot be reinstated.
|
| Name/ownership changes. The Section 71 Declaration must be filed by the current holder/owner of the
registration. Changes in name or ownership must first be recorded at the International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), who will notify the USPTO
of any changes recorded in the International Register. The USPTO will update its records to reflect only those changes that have been recorded in the International
Register. Check the USPTO Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to see if ownership
information has been updated for the corresponding U.S. registration after filing changes with the IB. See also WIPO's webpages on changes in ownership of international registrations and changes of name of the holder/owner. |
| Proof of Use Audit. The USPTO is conducting an audit program to promote the accuracy and integrity of the trademark
register. If a registration is selected for audit, the holder/owner will be required to submit proof of use for additional goods/services for which use is claimed in a Section 71
Declaration. Detailed information about the program is available on the Proof of Use Audit Program webpage. |
Maintaining your corresponding international registration with the IB. The international registration remains in
force for 10 years from its registration date, with the possibility of renewal for 10-year periods. Failure to renew the international registration with the IB will result in the
expiration of the U.S. registration, even if the Section 71 declaration has been accepted. The deadlines for renewing the international registration are calculated from the
international registration date. Renewal fees must be filed with the IB in accordance with Article 7 of the Madrid Protocol. The USPTO will not process or forward to the IB any
requests or fees to renew an international registration if mistakenly submitted to the USPTO. See Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure Section 1905 for additional information about renewing the international
registration.
Determination of time of receipt by USPTO. Correspondence transmitted through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) is considered filed on the date the USPTO receives
the transmission in Eastern Time.
This reminder notice is being sent only as a courtesy to trademark holders/owners who maintain a current email address with the USPTO. Failure by the USPTO to send a reminder or
non-receipt of a reminder does not excuse a trademark holder/owner from meeting the statutory obligations for maintaining a registration.
Foreign-domiciled holders/owners must have a
U.S.-licensed attorney represent them at the USPTO in any post-registration filing. |
