What Is a Statement of Use?
A Statement of Use is a filing submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to confirm that your trademark is being used in commerce.
When Is a Statement of Use Required?
Statement of Use is required after the USPTO issues a Notice of Allowance for a trademark application filed on an intent-to-use basis.
What Evidence Is Needed for a Statement of Use?
Your Statement of Use must include proof that your trademark is being used in commerce. This proof is called a specimen.
Specimens Showing Use
Your specimen must show your trademark as it is actually used with your goods or services.
Use in Commerce
The trademark must be used in real commercial activity, not just reserved or planned for future use.
Match Your Application
The specimen must match the goods or services listed in your trademark application and clearly display the trademark.
Deadlines & Fees
After the USPTO issues a Notice of Allowance, you must file a Statement of Use within a required time frame to continue your trademark application.
Initial Filing Deadline: You generally have six months from the Notice of Allowance date to file your initial Statement of Use.
Additional Fees May Apply: If your trademark is not yet in use, you may need to request an extension instead of filing a Statement of Use. Extension requests require additional USPTO filing fees.
Missing the Deadline: If you do not file a Statement of Use or a valid extension request by the deadline, your trademark application may be abandoned.
USPTO deadlines are strictly enforced, and filing fees vary based on timing and filing type.
