Abandoned Trademark Refiling Defined

Abandoned 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.

Can a Trademark Be Cancelled Due to Non-Use?

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.

Advantages of Refiling an Abandoned Trademark

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.

  • There are challenges associated with refiling, such as conducting a thorough search and proving a genuine intent to use the trademark. However, with the assistance of an experienced trademark attorney, you can navigate these obstacles and improve your chances of a successful registration. Don't miss the chance to secure a valuable trademark for your business—reach out to a trademark attorney to explore your options and start the refiling process.
