`
`REQUIREMENTS FOR MAINTAINING A FEDERAL TRADEMARK REGISTRATION
`
`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, unless canceled by an order of the Commissioner for Trademarks or a Federal Court, as long as the requirements
`for maintaining the registration are fulfilled as they become due.
`
`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. §§1058, 1059.
`
`Requirements in Successive Ten-Year Periods
`
`What and When to File: You must file a declaration of use (or excusable nonuse) and an application for renewal between every 9th and 10th-year period, calculated from the
`registration date.*   See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1059.
`
`Grace Period Filings
`
`The above documents will be considered 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/owner 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 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, holders/owners of international registrations do not file renewal applications at the USPTO.  Instead, the holder/owner
`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 https://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/.
`
`***THE USPTO IS NOT REQUIRED TO SEND ANY FURTHER NOTICE OR REMINDER OF THESE REQUIREMENTS.  THE HOLDER/OWNER SHOULD CONTACT THE
`USPTO ONE YEAR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE TIME PERIODS SHOWN ABOVE TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS AND FEES.***
