Trademark FAQ

I received a letter saying my insignia has been declared inactive because my trademark was abandoned/cancelled/expired. Can I file a new recordal application for the same mark?

Unless a new trademark application has been filed for the same mark, no. Certificates of recordal designated inactive due to cancellation or expiration of the trademark registration or abandonment of the trademark application on which the recordal is based cannot be activated. Recordals may only be based on a valid registration or pending application.
