RENEW YOUR TRADEMARK |
 |
To eliminate registrations for marks no longer in use, the U.S. Trademark Act mandates cancellation of a registration unless certain documents are submitted at specified intervals. Specifically, certain filings and evidence are required around the sixth year after registration, the tenth year after registration, and every succeeding decade after the tenth year.
By renewing your trademark registration, you can...
...Maintain Exclusivity Throughout the United States
Your customers' primary means of distinguishing your products and services from competitors' is recognition of your trademark. You have worked hard to make your mark visible, creating a valuable asset and marketing it to build up your company's name and reputation. Do not throw it away. Protect that asset and the investment in it by renewing your registration promptly.
...Attain Incontestability Status
Using your mark continuously for five years may make it eligible to be declared incontestable, shielding it from third parties seeking to cancel it. If incontestable, it cannot be attacked by claims that it is confusingly similar to another mark, that it is merely functional, or that it lacks secondary meaning.
