Don’t Let Your Trademark Fade. Keep It Active.

Two distinct documents fall under the category of Trademark Renewal:

• The initial document is called a Declaration of Continued Use, which can be submitted only once, following five years of trademark registration. Commonly known as a "five-year renewal."
• The subsequent document, known as Trademark Renewal, must be submitted between nine and ten years of trademark registration, and every ten years thereafter.

What are the Requirements For Trademark Renewal?

• The USPTO charges $100 per class for processing a 10-year trademark renewal, and $125 per class for processing a statement of continued use after the 6th-year. To initiate the trademark renewal transfer workflow, please visit www.trademarkprodigy.com.
• During this process, you'll need to provide evidence in the form of a "specimen" demonstrating that you're using your trademark to sell the products and/or services listed on your registration. If your mark is registered for products, acceptable specimens include photos of product packaging, clothing tags, or product labels displaying your trademark.
• For services, acceptable specimens include brochures, advertisements, or websites featuring your trademark in association with the services you offer.
