If you filed a trademark on an “intent‑to‑use” basis, you eventually must prove real use or request more time—or your application can go abandoned. The Priority Path Statement of Use / Extension Service helps you meet these USPTO deadlines without stress or guesswork.
We guide you through a simple intake to collect your use dates, specimens (proof of use), and how you’re actually selling your products or services. Then we prepare and file either a Statement of Use (SOU) with proper specimens or a Request for Extension of Time to File a Statement of Use, depending on where you are in your launch timeline.
Our service is built specifically for small businesses, online stores, and brands that don’t have in‑house legal teams but still want to keep their trademark applications moving forward. You get clear explanations, deadline awareness, and professionally prepared USPTO submissions, while you stay focused on actually getting your product into the market.
Priority Path works on transparent pricing: you pay a flat service fee for each SOU or extension we prepare, plus the official USPTO filing fee per class. No hidden subscriptions, no surprise add‑ons—just help getting your “intent‑to‑use” application across the finish line.
