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
April 8, 2024.
For an additional fee, the holder/owner can file this document within the 6-month grace period that ends on
October 8, 2024. 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.
