Trademark registrations must be maintained through periodic renewals (typically every 10 years), and in the US, you must also file declarations of continued use (Section 8/Section 71). We help you stay on top of every deadline with automated reminders and optional monitoring and enforcement services. See Country Guides for renewal timelines by jurisdiction.What's included:
- Renewal reminders sent well in advance of deadlines
- Section 8 and Section 71 filing support for US marks
- Optional trademark monitoring to detect infringing applications
