`
`REQUIREMENTS TO MAINTAIN YOUR FEDERAL TRADEMARK REGISTRATION
`
`WARNING: YOUR REGISTRATION WILL BE CANCELLED IF YOU DO NOT FILE THE
`DOCUMENTS BELOW DURING THE SPECIFIED TIME PERIODS.
`
`Requirements in the First Ten  Years*
`What and When to File:
`
`First Filing Deadline:  You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) between the 5th and 6th
`years after the registration date.
` See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1141k.
` If
`the declaration is accepted,
`the
`registration will continue in force for the remainder of the ten-year period, calculated from the registration
`date, unless cancelled by an order of the Commissioner for Trademarks or a federal court.
`
`Second Filing Deadline:  You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) and an Application
`for Renewal between the 9th and 10th years after the registration date.* See 15 U.S.C. §1059.
`
`Requirements in Successive Ten-Year Periods*
`What and When to File:
`
` and  an  Application for Renewal
`You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse)
`between every 9th and 10th-year period, calculated from the registration date.*
`
`Grace Period Filings*
`
`The above documents will be accepted as timely if filed within six months after the deadlines listed above with
`the payment of an additional fee.
`
`*ATTENTION MADRID PROTOCOL REGISTRANTS:  The holder of an international registration with an
`extension of protection to the United States under the Madrid Protocol must timely file the Declarations of Use
`(or Excusable Nonuse) referenced above directly with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
`The time periods for filing are based on the U.S. registration date (not the international registration date).  The
`deadlines and grace periods for the Declarations of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) are identical to those for
`nationally issued registrations.  See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1141k.  However, owners of international registrations
`do not file renewal applications at the USPTO. Instead, the holder must file a renewal of the underlying
`international registration at the International Bureau of the  World Intellectual Property Organization, under
`Article 7 of the Madrid Protocol, before the expiration of each ten-year term of protection, calculated from the
`date of the international registration.  See 15 U.S.C. §1141j.  For more information and renewal forms for the
`international registration, see http://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/.
`
`NOTE:  Fees and requirements for maintaining registrations are subject to change.  Please check the
`USPTO website for further information.
` With the exception of renewal applications for registered
`extensions of protection, you can file the registration maintenance documents referenced above online at h
`ttp://www.uspto.gov.
`
`NOTE:  A courtesy e-mail reminder of USPTO maintenance filing deadlines will be sent to trademark
`owners/holders who authorize e-mail communication and maintain a current e-mail address with the
`USPTO. To ensure that e-mail is authorized and your address is current, please use the Trademark
`Electronic  Application System (TEAS) Correspondence  Address and Change of Owner  Address Forms
`available at http://www.uspto.gov.
