A federal trademark is not “set it and forget it.” To keep your registration alive, you must file required renewal and maintenance documents with the USPTO at specific deadlines—between years 5–6 after registration, and then every 10 years—along with proof that you’re still using the mark in commerce. Missing these windows can lead to cancellation and loss of your rights. The Priority Path Trademark Renewal Service helps you stay compliant so your registration keeps protecting your brand.
We review your registration details and quickly determine which filing is due—such as a Section 8 Declaration of Use around the 5‑ to 6‑year mark, or a combined Section 8 and Section 9 renewal at each 10‑year anniversary. Then we collect the required use information and specimens (examples of how you use the mark on products, packaging, or marketing), prepare the correct USPTO renewal forms, and submit them electronically for you.
Renewal deadlines and form names can be confusing, especially when you’re busy running a small business. Our service is built for owners of registered trademarks—online stores, product brands, agencies, and local businesses—who want to keep their marks in force without worrying about missing a filing or navigating TEAS alone. We also help you understand grace periods and late‑fee options if you’re close to a deadline.
Priority Path works on transparent, flat pricing: you pay a clear service fee per renewal filing, plus the official USPTO government fees required for each class in your registration. No fake scare letters, no spammy mailers—just straightforward help keeping your trademark valid and enforceable.
What’s included
-
Review of your federal registration to identify which maintenance or renewal filing is due (5–6‑year Section 8, 10‑year combined Section 8 and 9, and later 10‑year renewals).
-
Calculation and confirmation of your renewal window and any applicable 6‑month grace period, so you understand your real deadline and late‑fee options.
-
Preparation of the appropriate USPTO forms (declarations of use and/or excusable non‑use, renewal applications) with your current owner information, goods/services, and specimens.
-
Guidance on selecting and uploading acceptable specimens that show real use in commerce for the goods/services you still offer.
-
Electronic filing through the USPTO system and delivery of confirmation/receipts for your records, plus basic follow‑up on USPTO acceptance or any post‑registration office actions tied to the renewal.
Who this is for
-
Owners of U.S. federal trademark registrations approaching their 5–6‑year, 10‑year, or later renewal deadlines.
-
E‑commerce brands, product companies, and service businesses that rely on a registered name or logo and want to avoid accidental cancellation.
-
Busy founders who prefer flat‑fee help with renewals instead of tracking complex USPTO timeframes and forms on their own.
Important note
Trademark renewal and maintenance services involve document preparation and filing; they do not constitute legal advice. We are not your attorneys, and we cannot guarantee that the USPTO will accept your renewal or keep your registration active. Government filing and late fees are separate and non‑refundable.
