Renewals and maintenance

US trademark renewals for portfolios of any size.

Every US registration must be maintained between years five and six, at year ten, and every ten years after. Miss the window and the registration cancels. We handle the full cycle for US and foreign owners.

Sections 8 & 9

Declaration of use and renewal in one filing at year ten, then every ten years. We pull the registration, confirm the goods, prepare the specimen record, file, and report.

Start a §8 & §9 renewal →

Sections 8 & 15

Maintenance and incontestability between years five and six. Section 15 is offered where the registration qualifies, and only then.

Start a §8 & §15 filing →

Section 71

Maintenance for Madrid Protocol extensions into the US, on the same schedule. Handled by the attorney directly.

On every filing

What we do

  • Pull the live USPTO record and confirm what's registered.
  • Review the goods and services against current use. Goods no longer in use come out; nothing gets added.
  • Flag audit exposure before filing, not after.
  • Prepare the specimen record and the declaration.
  • File, confirm, and docket the next date.
