Assignment 1 of 1
TRADEMARK REGISTRATION MAINTENANCE DOCUMENT UNDER SECTION 8 MUST BE FILED BEFORE DEADLINE OR
REGISTRATION WILL BE CANCELLED
Required submission. The owner of the trademark registration must file a Declaration of Use and/or Excusable Nonuse Under Section 8 (Section 8 Declaration) between
now and September 8, 2021. For an additional fee, the owner can file within the 6-month grace period that ends on March 8, 2022.
Optional submission. If the owner can claim the benefits of incontestability, the owner may file an optional Declaration of Incontestability under Section 15. This may be
combined with the required Section 8 Declaration by filing a Combined Declaration of Use and Incontestability Under Sections 8 and 15 (Combined Sections 8 and 15
Declaration).
If ownership of the registration or the owner's name has changed, the owner can use the Electronic Trademark Assignment System (ETAS) to record the
change. More information on changes of ownership/owner name is available on the USPTO website.
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 8 Declaration. Detailed information about the program is
available on the Proof of Use Audit Program webpage.
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.
If the owner fails to file a timely Section 8 Declaration the registration will be CANCELLED and cannot be reinstated.
This reminder notice is being sent only as a courtesy to trademark 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 owner from meeting the statutory obligations for maintaining a registration.
Foreign-domiciled 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."
Direct questions about this notice to the Trademark Assistance Center at 1-800-786-9199 (select option 1) or [email protected].
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.

from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation. All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States

The USPTO may assign pseudo marks, as appropriate, to new applications to assist in searching the USPTO database for conflicting marks. They have no legal significance
and will not appear on the registration certificate.
A PSEUDO MARK may be assigned to marks that include words, numbers, compound words, symbols, or acronyms that can have alternative spellings or meanings. For
example, if the mark comprises the words 'YOU ARE' surrounded by a design of a box, the pseudo mark field in the USPTO database would display the mark as 'YOU ARE
SQUARE'. A mark filed as 'URGR8' would receive a pseudo mark of 'YOU ARE GREAT'.
Response to this notice is not required; however, to suggest additions or changes to the pseudo mark assigned to your mark, please e-mail
[email protected]. You must reference your application serial number within your request. The USPTO will review the proposal and update the
record, if appropriate. For questions, please call 1-800-786-9199 to speak to a Customer Service representative.
The USPTO will not send any further response to your e-mail. Check TESS in approximately two weeks to see if the requested changes have been entered. Requests deemed
unnecessary or inappropriate will not be entered.
