Trademark Maintenance and Renewal

Declaration of Use, Renewal, Incontestability, Statement of Use

To keep your trademark from being cancelled, it is necessary to file a Section 8 Declaration of Use and/or a Section 9 Renewal. The Section 8 Declaration of Use must filed between the fifth and sixth year of registration. An additional filing must be made on each 10-year anniversary of registration.

The Section 9 Renewal must also be made on the 10-year anniversary of registration. Additionally, if you filed an intent to use application, it is necessary to file a Statement of Use before your trademark can be registered.

Further, after five years of continuous use, your trademark may become incontestable. Your trademark only becomes incontestable if you file a Section 15 Declaration of Incontestability.

Failure to maintain your trademark can result in the loss of your trademark or unnecessarily limiting your rights. If you are not already represented by an attorney, we are available to assist you with your trademark maintenance. Our trademark maintenance fee is £150 pounds sterling per filing. This does not include the following government filing fees:

Section 8 Declaration of Use - $100 per class
