U.S. Post Registration Management
U.S. Trademark Post Registration Management
The management of a trademark regisration instead, refers to the maintenance filings that must be performed to keep the registration alive, namely, the Statement of Continuous Use (5 years from the registration), and the Statement of Continuous Use and Application for Renewal (9 years from the registration). One of the filings that could be performed during the post-registration time is also the Declaration of Incontestability. This is an important filing often underestimated, that makes the application incontestable under certain profiles.
