Are There Any Other Filings That Need to be Made After Registrations?


Category: Intellectual Property Law

Yes. Pursuant to Section 8 of the Lanham Act, the owner of a trademark registration is required to periodically submit a declaration attesting to and demonstrating that the mark is still in use in commerce. The Declaration of Use must initially be submitted between the fifth and sixth anniversaries of registration, and subsequently with or during the same registration year as each renewal.
