The Requirements

Why should I file a trademark asset maintenance & renewal?

Requirement to Keep Alive

USPTO mandates that you file maintenance documents at designated intervals to demonstrate continued use of the mark in commerce.

Maintain Exclusive Rights

Neglecting to renew results in registration cancellation, causing you to forfeit the federal protections you diligently secured.

Prevent Costly Re-filing

Once expired, you frequently must begin again with a completely new application, jeopardizing your priority date and costing more.

When do I need to renew my trademark?

Keep these specific deadlines in mind. Missing them can be fatal to your federal registration.

Yes, trademarks must be renewed regularly to remain active. The first asset maintenance & renewal is due between the 5th and 6th year after registration.
The owner of the federal registration is responsible for filing maintenance and renewal documents. If ownership has changed, you may need to record an assignment.
If you miss the deadline, there is a 6-month grace period where you can still file with an additional fee. After that, your registration will be cancelled.
You must use the mark as it was registered. If you have materially changed the mark, you may need to file a new application.
You will need to provide proof of use (specimens) showing that the mark is still being used in commerce for the goods/services listed.
Government filing fees vary by registration details and classes. Trademark Signature reviews the record, prepares the renewal filing, and shows service costs before submission.
If a trademark expires, you lose your federal registration rights. Someone else could potentially register the mark, and you would lose your priority.
