Why it’s important
You have to renew your trademark every 10 years after registration in order to keep your trademark registration valid. If no renewal is filed, your registration will be canceled.
Filing a renewal of your trademark registration (also called a “Section 9” filing) is required by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for trademark owners to maintain their trademark rights.
Section 9 Renewal filing and ten-year Section 8 Declaration of Continued Use filing are filed are filed collectively as their filing time coincide.
Frequently asked questions
When do I need to renew my trademark registration?
A renewal for your trademark must be made between the 9th and 10th year after registration, followed by each successive 10-year period after that. If you exceed your renewal deadline by less than 6 months, you can still renew by paying an additional fee within the USPTO grace period. If you end up exceeding that grace period, your trademark registration would be canceled.
What are the requirements to file a Trademark Renewal?
You will need to provide:
- Your USPTO trademark registration number; and
- A recent specimen showing that you’re using your trademark to sell the goods and/or services listed on your registration. For goods/products, you can provide photos of the product, product packaging, product label, etc. where the mark can be seen prominently. For services, you may include brochures, advertisements or websites that prominently display your trademark associated with the services you’re selling.
How many times can I renew my registration?
The USPTO does not limit the number of times you can renew your registration provided that you’re still using the trademark in commerce in the right way.
What happens if I do not renew my trademark?
If you do not renew your trademark in the given time frame, you will end up losing the federal protection of your trademark. You will then have to go through the registration process all over again in order to protect your mark again or try to revive your previous registration.
