Get Started NowAbandoned Trademark Refiling involves reapplying for a trademark that was previously abandoned by another party. An application may be labeled "abandoned" if the original applicant fails to meet necessary requirements or does not respond to the trademark office’s requests. Once abandoned, the trademark is open for new applicants to register.
A new applicant can refile for the abandoned trademark, but must comply with all regulatory requirements and guidelines set by the trademark office. Before proceeding, it’s crucial to perform a thorough search to confirm the mark’s availability and avoid infringing on existing trademarks.
Yes, a trademark can be cancelled for non-use. When a business registers a trademark, it is generally required to actively use the mark in commerce to maintain its legal protection. If a trademark is not used within the first five years of its registration, the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) may cancel the registration.
Furthermore, any third party can request the cancellation of a trademark if it has not been used for five years. This request can be made starting the day after the five-year anniversary of the trademark's registration.
Opting to refile an abandoned trademark application offers several key benefits. Securing a trademark provides crucial legal protection, enhances brand visibility, and boosts credibility among customers and business partners.
Refiling an abandoned trademark can be a strategic move to acquire a valuable asset for your business. Although the process may involve additional steps and resources, the potential advantages can be substantial.
Even older trademarks can retain significant value. Many established brands have been in existence for decades or longer, and their trademarks continue to be valuable assets. By pursuing an abandoned trademark, you could harness this value to strengthen your brand.
