`Page: 2 / RN # 4,709,091
`
`*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 US. registration date (not the international registration

`those for nationally issued registrations.
`See 15 USC. §§10587 ll4lk. 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.wip0.int/madrid/em'.
`
`You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) and an Application for Renewal between
`every 9th and IOIh-year period, calculated from the registration date.*
`
`Grace Period Filings*

`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 http://www.uspt0. 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.

`

`
`
`INFORMATION FROM THE USPTO CONCERNING COURTESY E-MAlL
`REMINDERS 0F TRADEMARK REGISTRATION MAINTENANCE DEADLINES
`AND WARNING ABOUT UNOFFICIAL SOLICITATIONS
`
`E-mail Authorization and Current E-mail Address Required to Receive Courtesy E-mail
`Reminders of Registration Maintenance Deadlines
`
`As a courtesy to registration owners who authorize e—mail communication and maintain a current
`e—mail address with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the USPTO will
`issue courtesy e—mail reminders when your deadline approaches to file the necessary
`maintenance filings to keep your registration active. No reminders will be sent by regular mail.
`Ifyou have authorized receipt of correspondence by e—mail, please make sure that you have
`added the USPTO to your “approved senders list” and/or that your server will accept USPTO e-
`mail and not treat it as junk mail.
`
`The Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) Change of Correspondence Address and
`Change of Owner Address Forms (available through USPTO.gov) should be used to update and
`add e-mail address information. If an attorney represented you prior to registration but the
`representation is not ongoing, please use the same form to remove the attorney e-mail
`address(es) and provide your own, so that the reminders come directly to you.
`
`Beware of Unofficial Trademark Solicitations
`
`
`
`These companies may use names that resemble the USPTO name, including, for example, one or
`more of the terms “United States,” “US,” “Trademark,” “Patent,” “Registration,” “Office,” or
`“Agency.” Some companies attempt to make their solicitations mimic the look of ofiicial
`government documents by using official government data that is publicly available from USPTO
`records. Many refer to other government agencies and sections of the US. Code. Most require
`“fees” to be paid. All official correspondence will be from the “United States Patent and
`Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA, and if by e-mail, specifically from the domain
`“@uspto.g0v.”
`
`The USPTO’s e-mail reminders will direct you to make the necessary filings and pay the
`associated fees online through TEAS, and will not request any fees by mail. Please be aware that
`private companies ngt associated with the USPTO oflen use trademark application and
`registration information from the USPTO’s databases to mail or e-mail trademark-related
`solicitations. These may include offers: (1) for legal services; (2) for trademark monitoring
`services; (3) to record trademarks with US. Customs and Border Protection; and (4) to “register”
`trademarks in a private registry.
`
`If you receive a trademark—related solicitation that you believe is deceptive, you may file an on-
`line consumer complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), at www.FTC.gov. In
`addition, the USPTO encourages recipients of deceptive trademark-related solicitations to
`contact their states’ consumer protection authorities.
`
`For additional information, please visit the page on the USPTO.gov website entitled
`“WARNTN G: Non-USPTO Solicitations That May Resemble Official USPTO
`Communications.”
