Monitor a markA trademark registered on the USPTO's Principal Register carries significant legal advantages. Registration provides constructive notice to the entire country that the registrant claims ownership of the mark — meaning anyone who subsequently adopts a similar mark cannot claim they didn't know about the prior registration. It also gives the registrant the right to use the ® symbol, which puts competitors and the public on notice of the protected status.
Federal registration shifts the burden in trademark disputes. The registration is presumed valid, and anyone who challenges it must overcome this presumption. The registrant does not need to prove that they have been using the mark in a particular geographic area; their rights extend nationwide by operation of law.
Registration also opens the door to important enforcement tools — the ability to record the mark with U.S. Customs to block counterfeit imports, and eligibility to file trademark applications in foreign countries using the U.S. registration as a priority basis.
3 of 5 standard protection markers are on file for this record. These are factual attributes drawn from the USPTO register — they do not predict enforcement outcomes.
Federal trademark registrations require periodic declarations and renewals to stay active. Below are the filing windows for this registration, in chronological order.
File a declaration confirming the mark is still in use in commerce. Missing the window triggers a six-month grace period with a per-class surcharge; missing the grace period will result in cancellation.
After 5 years of continuous use, you can file for incontestable status, providing the strongest level of trademark protection.
Never miss a Section 8, 9, or 15 deadline — Lynch LLP can calendar and handle the filing.
Get deadline remindersBetween the 5th and 6th year after registration, between the 9th and 10th year, and every 10 years thereafter, the trademark owner must file a Declaration of Continued Use (Section 8) with the USPTO. This declaration confirms that the mark is still being actively used in commerce in connection with the goods or services listed in the registration — or, if it is not being used, explains why.
The Section 8 requirement exists to keep the trademark register current. The USPTO cannot independently verify whether registered marks are still in use, so this periodic filing puts the burden on the registrant to actively confirm that their registration reflects real-world commercial use. Failure to file a Section 8 declaration on time will result in cancellation of the registration, though a 6-month grace period (with an additional fee) is available after each deadline.
A filed and accepted Section 8 declaration is a positive signal: it means this trademark has been actively maintained and is presumed to be in current use in commerce. Evidence of continued maintenance suggests the mark represents an active brand.
U.S. trademark registrations do not expire automatically — but they do require periodic renewal to remain valid. A Section 9 Renewal must be filed with the USPTO between the 9th and 10th year after registration, and every 10 years thereafter. The renewal is filed together with a Section 8 declaration of continued use (or excusable nonuse) for the same period, so the 10-year filing is really a combined Section 8 & 9.
The renewal process involves submitting a specimen showing current use of the mark, confirming the goods and services are still accurate, and paying the applicable USPTO fees. Filing online through the USPTO's Trademark Center (which replaced TEAS in January 2025) costs $325 per class for the Section 8 plus $325 per class for the Section 9 — $650 per class in combined USPTO fees at each 10-year renewal. The renewal window opens one year before the deadline, and a six-month grace period with an additional per-class fee is available after the deadline.

Get renewal help →A trademark that is properly maintained through Section 8 and Section 9 filings can remain registered indefinitely — U.S. trademark registrations can be renewed for successive 10-year terms without limit. Many well-known marks have been in continuous registration for over a century. The key is keeping up with the maintenance schedule and ensuring actual use continues throughout.
A Section 15 Declaration of Incontestability is an optional but highly valuable filing available to trademark owners after five years of continuous use following registration. Filing the declaration does not change the outward appearance of the registration, but it fundamentally alters the legal landscape for anyone who might try to challenge it.
Once acknowledged by the USPTO, the registration becomes conclusive evidence of the registrant's right to use the mark — subject only to a narrow set of defenses. A competitor or infringer can no longer attack the registration by arguing the mark is merely descriptive, that it lacks secondary meaning, or that there was no genuine use in commerce at the time of registration. This removes the most common grounds for challenging a trademark registration.
Incontestability is filed alongside the Section 8 declaration during the 5th-to-6th year window, making them natural companions. The Section 15 declaration requires showing that the mark has been in continuous use for five consecutive years after registration and that there is no pending proceeding or adverse decision against the mark. Section 15 is a common filing once a client qualifies.
