Trademark Renewal and Objection Handling comes up with a lot of questions, especially for trademark owners approaching renewal deadlines or facing objections/oppositions dealing with it for the first time. Here are clear answers to what we're asked most often.
What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?
A grace period may be available, but missing it entirely can lead to removal from the register.
What's the difference between an objection and an opposition?
An objection is raised by the examiner during initial review; an opposition is filed by a third party after the mark is published.
Can a removed trademark be restored?
Restoration is possible in some cases within a prescribed window, subject to conditions.
How long is a renewal valid for?
Typically for a further fixed period, similar to the original registration term.
Still Have Questions?
Every business situation is a little different, and Trademark Renewal and Objection Handling is no exception. If your case doesn't fit neatly into the questions above, it's worth getting a second opinion before proceeding.
What You'll Typically Need
- Existing registration certificate and renewal due date
- Proof of continued use of the mark, if required
- Objection or opposition notice details, if applicable
- Evidence supporting your response to any objection
