TRADEMARK RENEWAL SERVICES
Keep Your Trademark Protected and Active
A registered trademark isn’t permanent. Miss a renewal deadline and you risk losing the rights you’ve built your brand on. We manage the entire renewal process with the USPTO, so your protection stays current and your brand stays secure.
WHY TRADEMARK RENEWAL MATTERS
Your trademark registration has deadlines that don’t move. Miss one, and your registration can be cancelled, leaving your brand name, logo, or slogan open for competitors to use or register themselves. Renewal isn’t just paperwork. Filing the right documents, with the right evidence, at the right time is what keeps your rights intact.
Cabilly & Co. is ranked among the Top-20 U.S. trademark lawyers and serves over 8,000 clients globally. We handle trademark filings and renewals every day, which means we track your deadlines, prepare your filings correctly, and respond to any USPTO issues before they become problems.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU MISS A RENEWAL
When a renewal deadline passes, the USPTO cancels your registration. Your brand name, logo, or slogan loses its federal protection, and competitors are free to use or register it themselves. Many owners don’t catch the lapse until they try to enforce their mark and find the rights are gone.
Reinstating a cancelled registration usually isn’t an option. In most cases, you have to start the entire registration process over, repaying the fees and waiting months to regain protection you already earned. Any priority you built from your original filing date is lost.
A trademark attorney keeps this from happening. Cabilly & Co. tracks your renewal deadlines, prepares each filing correctly, and resolves any USPTO objections, so your registration stays active without interruption.
COMMON RENEWAL ISSUES TRADEMARK OWNERS FACE
Trademark renewals rarely fail because owners don’t care. They fail because the requirements are easy to overlook. A missed deadline, an outdated submission, or a mark that’s changed since registration can all put your filing at risk.
Our team handles the full renewal process, from confirming your deadlines to preparing your filings and responding to the USPTO. Whether your renewal is routine or your mark needs extra attention, we make sure it’s done right.
Here are some of the most common renewal issues our clients come to us with:
01
MISSED DEADLINES
The most common reason renewals fail. The USPTO sets fixed windows for each filing, and once a deadline passes your options narrow quickly – a short grace period may still be available, but only for a limited time and at added cost, after which the registration lapses for good. Owners often lose track of dates set years earlier, only realizing too late that the window has closed and their registration has been cancelled.
02
INCORRECT OR OUTDATED SPECIMENS
Renewals require proof that your mark is still in use in commerce. If the submission you send is outdated, low quality, or doesn’t clearly show the mark as registered, the USPTO can refuse it, putting your filing at risk and forcing you to respond under time pressure.
03
CHANGES TO YOUR MARK
Brands evolve. If your logo, wording, or design has changed since registration, the mark you’re using may no longer match the one on file. This mismatch can complicate a renewal and, in some cases, require a new application rather than a simple renewal.
04
CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP
If your business has been sold, restructured, or the trademark transferred, ownership records may not be current with the USPTO. Filing a renewal under the wrong owner can create delays or rejections that take time and legal work to untangle.
05
GOODS AND SERVICES NO LONGER IN USE
Your registration covers specific goods or services. If you’ve stopped offering some of them, those items can’t be renewed and must be addressed correctly in your filing. Claiming use where there is none can put your entire registration at risk.
06
USPTO OFFICE ACTIONS
Sometimes the USPTO raises an objection or requests more information during the renewal. These office actions have their own deadlines and require a precise response. Handled wrong, they can derail an otherwise straightforward renewal.

Amazon Account Reinstatement Service FAQs
When do I need to renew my trademark?
Your first maintenance filing is due between the 5th and 6th year after registration. After that, you renew between the 9th and 10th year, and then every 10 years to keep your registration active. Missing any of these windows can lead to cancellation.
What happens if I miss my renewal deadline?
If a deadline passes, the USPTO cancels your registration and your mark loses its federal protection. In most cases you can’t simply reinstate it. You have to file a new application, repay the fees, and wait months to regain protection, losing the priority tied to your original filing date.
Is there a grace period if I miss a deadline?
The USPTO allows a six-month grace period after certain deadlines, but it comes with additional fees and is not guaranteed for every filing. Relying on the grace period is risky. Filing on time is always the safer path, and we help you do exactly that.
Do I have to prove I'm still using my
Yes. Renewals require evidence that your mark is still in use in commerce for the goods or services it covers. If you’ve stopped using the mark for some of them, those items can’t be renewed and need to be handled correctly in your filing.
Can Cabilly & Co. handle my renewal if my trademark was registered by someone else?
Yes. We can take over your renewal regardless of who originally filed it. We’ll review your registration, confirm your deadlines and current status, and manage the entire process from there.
