A large number of sellers’ brands have expired, and the American Standard 5-6-year pledge must be completed! !

Method 2: Submit a statement of use + evidence of use + an irrefutable sworn statement, with a total official fee of US$425

This form of heightened trademark protection can be chosen provided that the legal requirements are met, such as the trademark being registered in the principal register and being in continuous use in commerce for at least five years.

Submitting a sworn declaration of incontestability can strengthen trademark protection and prevent others from filing a cancellation motion for the registered trademark on the grounds of lack of distinctiveness or trademark conflict.

Documents required for submitting renewal declaration

1. Affidavit: A signed affidavit of continued use of the registered mark detailing the use of the mark after registration.

2. Evidence of use (images)

• The trademark on the evidence of use must be clear and consistent with the logo applied for registration;

• Evidence of use must include real product photos. Do not provide forged photoshopped evidence of use photos.

• The evidence of use provided must be able to be purchased normally in the United States;
