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 Nov 27, 2012.  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 Nov 27, 2018.  For an additional fee, the owner may file the declaration within the six-month grace period that ends on May 28, 2019.  See 15 U.S.C. §1058.  The current fee for filing a declaration under §8 is $125 per class if the filing is made via the Trademark Electronic Application System ("TEAS") and $225 if the filing is made on paper, and the additional fee for filing during the six-month grace period is $100 per class if the filing is made via TEAS and $200 if the filing is made on paper.  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 if the filing is made via TEAS and $300 per class if the filing is made on paper.  37 C.F.R. §2.6.

To expedite processing, the owner is encouraged to file through the USPTO's official website using 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-application-process/filing-online/registration-maintenancerenewalcorrection-forms.

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.

For further information regarding the maintenance of a trademark registration, including future maintenance filings, please consult the USPTO website at http://www.gov.uspto.report/learning-and-resources/trademark-faqs.

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.

Correspondence transmitted through TEAS is considered to have been filed on the date the USPTO receives the transmission, in Eastern Time, regardless of whether that date is a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday within the District of Columbia.  37 C.F.R. §2.195(a)(2).
