The first is the Section 8 Declaration of Use, due between years 5 and 6 after registration. The renewal itself, filed as a combined Section 8 and 9, is then due between years 9 and 10, and every 10 years after that. Miss one of these windows and the registration is cancelled, so the dates are worth tracking closely.
Every maintenance filing has to show the mark is still in use in commerce, usually with a current specimen such as a label, packaging, or a screenshot of the mark in use. After five years of continuous use you can also file an optional Section 15 Declaration of Incontestability, which strengthens your rights against many later challenges.
However, renewal isn't automatic—it's a proactive step you must initiate as the trademark owner. In practice that means confirming your current use, preparing an acceptable specimen, and filing the correct declaration with the USPTO before the deadline.
Our Senior Case Analysts review your registration, confirm your use in commerce, and prepare the correct Section 8, Section 9, or Section 15 filing for your deadline.
Trademark renewal service offers businesses peace of mind by ensuring their trademarks remain legally protected. It means avoiding potential infringement risks and maintaining compliance with intellectual property regulations.
Handling trademark renewals can be a time-consuming process. The service takes this burden off businesses, allowing them to focus on their core operations. With experts managing the renewals, companies can allocate their resources more efficiently.
You get straightforward answers from a Senior Case Analyst who handles renewals every day, so you're never left guessing about deadlines or paperwork.
We track your Section 8, Section 9, and renewal deadlines and remind you before each one, so an active registration never lapses by accident. If your mark has already gone abandoned, ask us about re-filing instead.
We keep renewals straightforward: a review of your registration, preparation and filing of the right declaration, then confirmation and a reminder for next time.
We check your registration and how you're currently using the mark to confirm which filing is due and that you meet the requirements.
We prepare the declaration and specimen and file with the USPTO. Our service fee is separate from the USPTO government fee.
Your Senior Case Analyst keeps you updated through the process. Once the USPTO accepts the filing, your registration stays active and protected.
An case analyst will review your current use of your trademark and file the appropriate documents.
