Who says application maintenance and trademark renewal are complex? Trademark renewal can be a cakewalk with our decades of experience and the following considerations.
A declaration or an affidavit attesting the use of your registered trademark should be filed and executed within a year following the 5th anniversary (and not more than the 6th anniversary) of your trademark registration. Business owners are required to submit a specimen that proves the use of your trademark for at least one of the goods and services you offer with your application for trademark renewal.
Your trademark registration can be renewed for 10 successive years from your registration date (or the date of renewal) until its expiration. The renewal declaration or affidavit should be filed and executed within the 12 months before the 10th anniversary of your registration date. Business owners are required to submit a specimen that proves the use of your trademark for at least one of the goods and services you offer with your application for trademark renewal.

Trademark renewal applications are highly recommended worldwide except in Comoro Islands, Eritrea, Myanmar, Maldives, Palau, East Timor, and Nauru. If your trademark is registered elsewhere, we’ll be more than willing to get right to work.
In a nutshell, trademark maintenance lets the USPTO know that you are still using the trademark you registered. Therefore, if you wish to keep using your trademark, we can help you maintain it without breaking a sweat.
In most cases, trademark needs to be used continuously to get renewed. For starters, you will have to submit a ‘Declaration of Continued Use’ within the deadlines set by the USPTO. However, there have been several cases where trademark owners could make use of ‘excusable nonuse’ for their trademarks by filing a Declaration of Excusable Nonuse.
Yes, you should. You should also notify the USPTO as soon as you take ownership of this trademark. Once this has been done, you will be responsible for trademark maintenance as if you were the original owner of the mark.
Incontestable registration means that a trademark is a conclusive evidence in and of itself. Federal trademarks are incontestable because they prove the existence of a registered trademark, the registration of the trademark, the ownership of the mark, and the owners’ exclusive rights to use their mark for the declared goods or services.
