Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about trademark renewal and maintenance.

When do I need to renew my trademark?
Trademark renewals occur at specific intervals: First, between the 5th and 6th year after registration (Section 8 Declaration of Use), then between the 9th and 10th year (Section 8 Declaration and Section 9 Renewal), and every 10 years thereafter. Missing these deadlines can result in the cancellation of your trademark registration.
What documents are required for trademark renewal?
For trademark renewal, you'll need to submit: 1) A Declaration of Use (Section 8) showing your mark is still in use in commerce, 2) A specimen showing current use of your mark, and 3) The renewal application (Section 9) with appropriate fees. Additional documentation may be required depending on your specific situation.
Can I file a trademark renewal late?
Yes, there is a six-month grace period after the renewal deadline, but additional fees will apply. However, if you miss the grace period, your trademark registration will be canceled, and you'll need to file a completely new application to protect your mark.
What is a Section 8 & 15 Declaration?
A Section 8 Declaration is a sworn statement that your trademark is still in use in commerce. A Section 15 Declaration (optional) makes your trademark 'incontestable,' providing enhanced protection against certain legal challenges. These can be filed together between the 5th and 6th year after registration.
How much does trademark renewal cost?
Trademark renewal fees vary based on the number of classes and types of filings. Basic government fees start at $225 per class for Section 8 Declarations and $500 per class for Section 9 Renewals. Additional fees may apply for late filings or expedited processing. Contact us for a detailed fee schedule based on your specific needs.
