U.S. PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE ("USPTO") COURTESY REMINDER
OF REQUIRED TRADEMARK REGISTRATION MAINTENANCE FILING UNDER SECTION 8 |
WARNING: Your trademark registration will be CANCELLED if you do not file the required document below during the specified statutory time period. |
| The above-identified registration registered on Oct 4, 2011. Therefore, the owner of the registration must file a Declaration of
Use and/or Excusable Nonuse under §8 of the Trademark Act anytime between now and Oct 4, 2017. For an additional fee, the owner may file the declaration within the six-month grace period that
ends on Apr 4, 2018. See 15 U.S.C. §1058. The current fee for filing a declaration under §8 is $100 per class, and the additional fee for filing during the six-month grace period
is $100 per class. 37 C.F.R. §2.6. |
| If the registration meets the requirements of §15 of the Trademark Act, the owner may additionally file an optional Declaration of
Incontestability under §15. See 15 U.S.C. §1065. The current fee for filing a declaration under §15 is $200 per class. 37 C.F.R. §2.6. |
| To expedite processing, the owner is encouraged to file through the USPTO's official website using the Trademark Electronic Application
System ("TEAS"). Official forms for filing Declarations of Use and/or Excusable Nonuse under §8 and Combined Declarations of Use and Incontestability under §§8 and 15 are available through TEAS
at http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/teas/reg_maintain.jsp. |
| For information regarding how to record ownership documents such as assignments, name changes and mergers, please see TMEP §503.
To expedite recordation, the owner is encouraged to file requests for recordation through the Electronic Trademark Assignment System ("ETAS") at http://etas.uspto.gov. |
| This reminder notice is being sent only as a courtesy to those trademark owners who have authorized e-mail communication and maintain a
current e-mail address with the USPTO. Failure by the USPTO to send a reminder or non-receipt of a reminder does not excuse a trademark owner from meeting the statutory obligations for
maintaining a trademark registration. If a registration is cancelled and/or expired due to the failure to timely file required maintenance documents, it cannot be reinstated or
revived. |
| Beware of Unofficial Trademark Solicitations: Please be aware that private companies not associated with the USPTO often
use trademark registration information from the USPTO's database to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations. This is the only official reminder that you will receive from the USPTO about
your upcoming required maintenance filing. For additional information about these private solicitations, please visit the USPTO website at http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp. |
| In order to be eligible for future e-mail reminders of maintenance filings, please remember to authorize e-mail communication when
filing your maintenance documents through TEAS and ensure that you maintain a current e-mail address with the USPTO. |
