Statement of Use
Trademark Renewal
Please complete the form below regarding your trademark.
Statement of Use: a declaration to the USPTO that the trademark has now been used in commerce with the designated goods/services.
Section 8 Declaration: a declaration made by a trademark owner that the trademark has been used continuously since the registration was granted. A Section 8 Declaration is mandatory to not lose your existing trademark.
Section 15: an optional declaration that requires the filing of a sworn statement that:
There has been no final adverse court decision affecting the registrant’s ownership or right to use the trademark.
There is no pending proceeding involving the trademark.
The mark has been in continuous use for the past 5 years (Section 8 Declaration).
A section 15 Declaration makes the trademark registration “incontestable”. Incontestable status denies adverse litigants the ability to challenge your trademark registration. For example, even a prior unregistered user of the trademark is blocked from canceling your trademark registration when it is deemed incontestable.
Government fees are not included.
