Upon publication in the Official Trademark Gazette, registration of the mark would be subject to opposition by any interested party for thirty days. If no one were to oppose, a federal registration would then be granted. On average, a registration issues within thirteen months of the application filing date. The federal registration would provide your company with the exclusive right to use its mark throughout the United States on the goods claimed in the registration. The registration would be capable of remaining in force for a period of ten years, provided that a signed declaration of use was filed between the fifth and sixth anniversary of the registration date.
Registrations are renewable in ten-year increments.
We would docket these due dates and send you reminders. This designation serves to inform the public and trade of your company's claim of trademark rights and may deter infringement. The designation should be substituted with the symbol when a federal registration issues. Please click here to provide feedback or send comments to comments . All rights reserved.
