Details about renewal of trademark in USA
We will extend the protection period of your registered US trademark for ten years with the US Patent and Trademark Office and check the payment of the renewal fee.
The renewal of an US trademark provides that a Declaration of Use was filed with the US Patent and trademark Office between the 5th and 6th year calculated from the date of registration.
Furthermore the trademark owner has the opportunity to file a declaration of incotestability.
Therefore it has to be proved that the respective registered trademark has been used for period of 5 consecutive years for the registered goods and services. The advantage of such an declaration is that the trademark owner gains a legal presumption that the trademark is valid and the trademark owner has the exclusive right to use the trademark in relation with the registered goods and services. This has the consequence that it is more difficult to prove the invalidity or to prove that the owner has no exclusive right to use the trademark in a conceivable revocation or cancellation proceeding.
Trademark Renewal in the USA: Protecting Your Brand's Future
Renewing your trademark in the United States is a crucial step in maintaining your brand's legal protection and market presence. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requires periodic renewals to ensure that trademarks remain active and enforceable. This process, while essential, can be complex and time-sensitive.
