1. New Application

2. 5-6 years and 9-10 years of affidavit and use of evidence

3. Request for reconsideration after the final review opinion is issued

4. Revocation and opposition

5. Petition

1. The cost of new U.S. trademark applications has increased, but the increase is lower and the impact is smaller if the application is submitted through TEAS regulations.

2. The official fees for the oath of use in the 5th-6th year and the 9th-10th year have increased, and the cost of maintaining the trademark has increased.

3. Before this fee adjustment, customers could delete unused goods/services without paying any official fees, but after the adjustment, deleting goods/services may incur official fees. That is, before submitting the 5th-6th year or 9th-10th year use declaration, customers can continue to submit applications to delete goods/services without paying any official fees (note that the application can only involve deletion, and if other content is involved, fees will still be incurred). However, after submitting the 5th-6th year or 9th-10th year use declaration and before the review is passed, if the goods/services need to be deleted due to irregular use evidence or other reasons, official fees will be incurred. Therefore, it is recommended that customers choose goods/services carefully, and it is best to choose goods/services for which they can provide use evidence.

4. For the reconsideration application after the final review opinion is issued, no official fee is required before the adjustment. However, if the application is made within 3 months of the date of the final review opinion, the official fee can still be waived after the adjustment. However, if the application is made within 3-6 months of the date of the final review opinion, the official fee must be paid, and the fee is not low. Therefore, it is recommended that if the application is rejected only because of the use of evidence, the client should meet the examiner's requirements when replying to the first review opinion, that is, provide qualified use evidence. Otherwise, the subsequent reply fee will be high.
