Overview

Understanding Trademark Restoration

If renewal is not filed within the six-month grace period, the trademark is removed from the Register and the brand loses its statutory shield. The law offers a window: within one year of removal, the mark can be restored and renewed by filing Form TM-13 with the prescribed fees and an explanation for the delay. We assess eligibility, draft a persuasive restoration application addressing the cause of delay, coordinate any advertisement the Registrar directs, and pursue the restoration order so your mark returns to the Register — subject to third-party rights acquired in the interim.
