American trademarks want to be updated. Do you know how to do it?

Now many enterprises want to open up overseas markets after growing up in China, which requires registering their own international trademarks. The United States is the first market that many enterprises choose to enter. After owning our own American trademark, we need to know that the trademark has a certain period of use. Therefore, if the American trademark is about to expire, we need to renew it in time. How to renew the American trademark? What should I pay attention to? ?

First, the way of handling

1. Of course, it is to find a trademark agency. You just need to prepare the materials and give the rest to the agency.

2. If you don't find an agency, you need the applicant to apply directly to the United States Trademark and Patent Office.

Second, the required documents

1. Application for trademark renewal registration.

2. The trademark agency power of attorney signed/sealed by the applicant.

3. If the applicant is a company, a copy of the business license shall be submitted, and if it is an individual, a copy of the ID card shall be submitted.

4. A copy of the trademark registration certificate.

Third, matters needing attention

1. First year after registration 10: Submit the use statement twice.

First submission of use statement

The trademark owner must submit a trademark use statement in the fifth to sixth years from the date of registration. For example, if the registration date is 20 1 March 6 1, the trademark owner must submit the use statement for the period from March 20265438 to March 20221. If the declaration of use submitted conforms to the law, the trademark registration shall remain valid within the validity period.

2. Second application statement and renewal application

The trademark owner must submit the trademark use declaration and renewal application within the ninth year to 10 from the date of registration. For example, if the registration date is March 20 16 1 day, the trademark owner must submit the use statement and renewal application from March 2025 1 day to March 2026 1 day, and pay the corresponding fees. If the use statement and the application for renewal comply with the law, the trademark registration will continue to be valid in the next 10 year.

Whether it is an international trademark or a domestic trademark, we need to be clear that a trademark has a certain service life, so it should be renewed in time when it is about to expire, so as to ensure the normal use of registered trademarks in the future.
