Trademark Renewal Filing

Trademark registrations require renewal filings at specific intervals to remain active.

Why should I file a trademark renewal?

Trademark renewals are required to maintain an active federal trademark registration. If a renewal is not filed on time, the registration may be canceled or expire.

Filing required renewals helps ensure your trademark remains on record with the USPTO and continues to reflect your ongoing use of the mark.

When do I need to renew my trademark?

A registered trademark can last indefinitely, but only if required maintenance filings are submitted on time.

Between the 5th & 6th Year Anniversary

File a Section 8 Declaration of Continued Use to confirm your trademark is still in use. Missing this filing may result in the cancellation of your registration.

Between the 9th & 10th Year Anniversary

File a combined Section 8 and Section 9 renewal to confirm continued use and renew your registration for the next 10-year term.

Every 10 Years Afterward

Trademark registrations must be renewed every 10 years by filing a combined Section 8 and Section 9 renewal to keep your registration active.
