If you want to bring back an old business or use its name for your new business, the original owner of the trademark may have stopped using it. To use the trademark exclusively, you must start using it again. This can be great for your business because you may get access to the previous customers of the old business, even if they were in a different area. However, you should do some research to make sure the trademark has really been abandoned before using it.
If you are a business in England, you must understand the trademark registration process before seeking to register an abandoned trade mark. If you do not complete the correct procedures, the US Intellectual Property Office (USPTO) may reject your trademark application. Contact our qualified legal consultants at Trademark Frontier to get the comprehensive details regarding Trademark Registration!
To request the cancellation of a trademark, you need to submit the appropriate forms and pay the fee. Your application must provide details of the periods during which you believe the trademark has not been in use. However, the owner of the trademark has the right to challenge your assertion by demonstrating that they have used the trademark in some capacity within the past five years. If they can provide evidence of such use, they can keep their registration and block any cancellation attempts.
Additionally, if the original trademark owner is unable to prove genuine usage of the trademark during the five-year period preceding the revocation application, they may still be able to present valid reasons for the mark's non-use, such as export or legal reasons. It is advisable to contact the registered trademark owner and explore the possibility of transferring or selling the mark before pursuing any legal action. Suppose you decide to go ahead with legal proceedings. In that case, it is also advisable to seek legal assistance from an intellectual property lawyer to ensure you are progressing through the process correctly. Contact Trademark Frontier to get the full assistance through a qualified legal attorney to get you through this process seamlessly.
When a business applies for a trademark, it is assumed that they will use it to promote their goods or services and benefit from legal protection for a period of ten years. Nevertheless, if the trademark remains unused for the first five years of registration, the IPO (Intellectual Property Office) has the authority to cancel the trademark registration.

The answer to this question will differ from agency to agency and based on staffing changes and enhanced technologies at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. If you’re asking us specifically, you can count on the entire application process to take from 08 to 12 months.
It can take up to 10 years. Also, the registration can easily be renewed so long as you have made sure to maintain an uninterrupted use of your trademark in interstate commerce.
If you have a federally registered trademark, you will be able to use the ® symbol. For every other mark, whether unregistered or registered, you will not be required to add a designation. However, we always advise mark owners to attach the ‘SM’ or ‘TM’ symbol to tell the industry that your company name, logo, or symbol is proprietary to your services or goods.
We always tell our clients that we aren’t ‘oddsmakers’. In other words, you get exactly what you pay for. Our teams are skilled in improving the likelihood of your success. They perform clearance to search for similar trademarks before sending out an application and picking a highly distinctive mark.
