The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will send courtesy
e-mail reminders of upcoming post-registration maintenance trademark filing
deadlines for §§8 and 71 declarations and §9 renewals to registration
owners who (1) provided a valid e-mail address to the USPTO; (2)
authorized e-mail communication; and (3) have “live” registrations on
the date of sending. The courtesy e-mail reminders will be sent on the
first day of the statutory filing period for the maintenance filing
(e.g., 5th year anniversary date, 9th year anniversary date, 19th year
anniversary date, etc.) to all e-mail addresses of record within the
Correspondence and Current Owner(s) Information fields, as indicated in
Office records. To ensure receipt of the courtesy e-mail reminders,
registration owners are reminded to add the USPTO to their “safe senders
list” and/or confirm that their e-mail server will accept e-mail from
the USPTO and will not treat it as junk mail or spam. No reminders will
be sent by regular mail, and no follow-up e-mails will be attempted for
undeliverable e-mails.
For additional information about the
courtesy e-mail reminders, including instructions on how to add the
USPTO to your “safe senders list,” please visit www.uspto.gov/trademarks/notices/reminder_maintenance_filings.jsp.
