What is a Trademark Renewal?

A Trademark Renewal, in the context of international trademark protection under the Madrid Protocol, involves filing a Section 71 Declaration of Use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This critical step is essential to maintain your registered extension of protection in the United States.

Why is it Important?

Failure to file the Section 71 Declaration of Use within the specified timeframe can lead to dire consequences. If missed, the USPTO will cancel your extension of protection, stripping you of the rights associated with your trademark in the U.S.
