Work with experienced trademark attorneys to ensure your Statement of Use or Extension of Time is submitted accurately and error-free.
Get Started NowA Statement of Use is a legal document required to prove that a trademark is actively being used in commerce. After receiving a Notice of Allowance, which indicates that your trademark application has been approved, this document must be filed with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). It includes details such as the first use date, the goods or services associated with the trademark, and examples of how the mark is used in commerce.
For applications based on intent-to-use, filing a Statement of Use is necessary to demonstrate that the mark is now in use. This statement must be submitted within six months of receiving the Notice of Allowance. If you are unable to file within this timeframe, you must apply for a six-month extension. Let us assist you in navigating this process and ensure you avoid critical mistakes in demonstrating your trademark's commercial use.
Answer a few questions regarding the use of your trademark to get started.
We will first check that all required information is complete and then assemble and prepare your Statement of Use or Extension of Time.
We will electronically file your completed documents with the IPO.
A Notice of Allowance is a formal notification from the trademark office indicating that your trademark application has been reviewed and no objections have been found that would prevent its registration. However, the trademark will not be registered until you submit a Statement of Use, which demonstrates that the trademark is actively being used in commerce. You have six months to file the Statement of Use or request an extension if needed.
A Statement of Use is a formal declaration that confirms your trademark is actively used on the goods or services specified in your application, supported by relevant evidence. Your attorney will review this evidence and advise you on the subsequent steps to complete the registration process.
For goods, "use in commerce" means that the trademark is affixed to physical products that have been sold to U.S. consumers. For services, it means that the trademark is used in promotional materials and that the services have been rendered to U.S. clients.
If you have not yet begun using the trademark in commerce, you can request a six-month extension. This process can be repeated up to five times, during which you should work towards showing that the trademark is in use.
If you fail to meet the deadline, your trademark application will be considered abandoned, and the trademark office will issue a Notice of Abandonment. To revive the application, you must file a special petition and pay any applicable late fees within two months of receiving the notice.
Typically, a trademark will be registered within 3 to 5 months after filing the Statement of Use. The registration will be effective from the date of the original application filing.
