Your trademark is about to expire!

Original trademark

Does it also have its own “shelf life”?

Once the trademark expires

Years of hard work were destroyed in an instant

So be sure to be vigilant!

Be more vigilant!

What you think you think may not necessarily be what you think.

For example, the American website trademark that you worked so hard to register may become invalid overnight.

The United States Trademark Office stipulates that a statement of continued use of the trademark must be submitted between the 5th and 6th year from the date of registration to maintain the validity of the trademark.

The consequences of trademark invalidation are very serious:

All brand functions are lost! Not only will sales drop significantly, but competitors may also take the opportunity to register the product.

All the years of hard work have gone down the drain.

What’s even more surprising is that even many sellers in the big selling group don’t know about this, or have only a superficial understanding of it.

"The registration date of one of my trademarks is July 2019. Do I need to take an oath?"

"Old sellers in the group with more than 5 years of experience please share"

Now it seems necessary to do a detailed popular science!

After all, it’s not easy for a brand to last for 5 years, because of such a small thing, it’s really…

What a pity!

Every word you say next is important.

1. Tutorial on how to check the American Standard oath time:

① Log in to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and click "Search our trademark database" under "Trademarks"

②Click "Trademark search system"

③ Enter the trademark number, click Search, then click Trademark Information to enter the trademark information details page;

④Click “MAINTENANCE ” , check the date, and take the oath before this date.

For example, if the time displayed on this interface is: Nov.15,2023

Then you must take the oath immediately, otherwise the trademark will soon be permanently invalid.

2. Submission method of use statement

① Directly submit the oath of use and evidence of use, as many real product pictures or sales URLs as possible.
