`
`Maintaining your U.S. trademark registration with the USPTO.
`    •     Required USPTO submission.
`  The holder/owner of the trademark registration must file an acceptable
`Declaration of Continued Use/Excusable Nonuse of Mark in Commerce Under Section 71 (Section 71
`          Declaration) between now and  June 5, 2024.   For an additional fee, the holder/owner can file within the
`  If the holder/owner fails to file a timely Section 71 Declaration,
`          6-month grace period that ends on  December 5, 2024.
`          the U.S. registration will be cancelled and cannot be reinstated.
`
`•     Optional USPTO submission.
`  If the holder/owner can claim the benefits of incontestability, the
`          holder/owner may file an optional Declaration of Incontestability under Section 15.  This may be combined
`Combined Declaration of Continued Use/Excusable
`          with the required Section 71 Declaration by filing a
`Nonuse and Incontestability under Sections 71 and 15 (Combined Sections 71 and 15 Declaration).
`
`  Changes in name or ownership must first be
`Name/ownership changes.  The Section 71 Declaration must be filed by the current holder/owner of the registration.
`recorded at the International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), who will notify the USPTO of any changes recorded in the International
`Register.  The USPTO will update its records to reflect only those changes that have been recorded in the International Register.  Check the USPTO Trademark Status and
`Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to see if ownership information has been updated for the corresponding U.S. registration after filing changes with the IB.  See also
`WIPO's webpages on changes in ownership of international registrations and changes of name of the holder/owner.

`
`Proof of Use Audit.  The USPTO is conducting an audit program to promote the accuracy and integrity of the trademark register.  If a registration is selected for audit, the
`holder/owner will be required to submit proof of use for additional goods/services for which use is claimed in a Section 71 Declaration.  Detailed information about the program
`is available on the Proof of Use Audit Program webpage.
`
`Maintaining your corresponding international registration with the IB.  The international registration remains in force for 10 years from its registration date, with the
`possibility of renewal for 10-year periods.  Failure to renew the international registration with the IB will result in the expiration of the U.S. registration, even if the
`Section 71 declaration has been accepted.  The deadlines for renewing the international registration are calculated from the international registration date.  Renewal fees
`must be filed with the IB in accordance with Article 7 of the Madrid Protocol.  The USPTO will not process or forward to the IB any requests or fees to renew an international
`registration if mistakenly submitted to the USPTO.  See Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure Section 1905 for additional information about renewing the international
`registration.
`
`Determination of time of receipt by USPTO.  Correspondence transmitted through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) is considered filed on the date the
`USPTO receives the transmission in Eastern Time.
`
`This reminder notice is being sent only as a courtesy to trademark holders/owners who maintain a current email address with the USPTO.   Failure by the USPTO to send a
`reminder or non-receipt of a reminder does not excuse a trademark holder/owner from meeting the statutory obligations for maintaining a registration.
`
`Foreign-domiciled holders/owners must have a U.S.-licensed attorney represent them at the USPTO in any post-registration filing.
`
`Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about registrations.   Private companies not associated with the USPTO use public information available in
`trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices - most of which require fees.  All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the
`domain "@uspto.gov."
