Trademark renewals are required to maintain an active federal trademark registration. If a renewal is not filed on time, the registration may be canceled or expire.
Filing required renewals helps ensure your trademark remains on record with the USPTO and continues to reflect your ongoing use of the mark.
When do I need to renew my trademark?
A registered trademark can last indefinitely, but only if required maintenance filings are submitted on time.
File a Section 8 Declaration of Continued Use to confirm your trademark is still in use. Missing this filing may result in the cancellation of your registration.
Between the 9th & 10th Year Anniversary
File a combined Section 8 and Section 9 renewal to confirm continued use and renew your registration for the next 10-year term.
Every 10 Years Afterward
Trademark registrations must be renewed every 10 years by filing a combined Section 8 and Section 9 renewal to keep your registration active.

I called today with the sole purpose of canceling my trademark monitoring services from my brand protection plus benefits package. As a start up company I couldn't substantiate the cost of the monitoring service at this time. Angie understood my concerns and handled my request quickly and accordingly. Lovely customer experience was had.

10/10 Ben, will recommend!
He helped with what I needed in a very professional manner. I couldn't find my order number to verify myself, but the trademark name got me in the door and he then gave me my order number. I'm glad that there are such strict safeguards in place. And I never thought that he was disrespectful, instead polite as I tried to figure out how to identify myself. He's a good Ben, take it from me.

Your representative was incredibly polite
Your representative was incredibly polite, he consistently stopped talking when I talked to allow me to go first, and this was great cause I was very nervous about finances. He helped me pause my account and sent confirmation and he helped me cancel two subscriptions very helpful, very polite and very knowledgeable.

TRADEMARK ENGINE WINS AGAIN!
I have been working with Trademark Engine (#347148) for quite a while. I transferred my file from an attorney who never really explained the whole process to me; causing me to lose months of valuable time and gave no real direction regarding the steps of verification I'd need to complete my process. In my latest conversation with RYAN, she fully explained the process of Specimen Submission, Extensions, and also my rights if I go beyond the deadline in submitting proper documentation.
I cannot tell you how much I wish I'd started the process of trademarking with TRADEMARK ENGINE, rather than an attorney. They have been continually supportive and knowledgeable in their guidance. Customer service has always found a solution to whatever questions I've had, and are clear about pricing. I recommend them highly!
