Understanding Statement of Use
A Statement of Use (SOU) is filed to show a trademark is actively used in commerce for registration.
Accurate Filing:
Prepare and submit SOUs with precise documentation to meet USPTO requirements.
Deadline Compliance:
Ensure submissions occur within legal timeframes, avoiding delays or abandonment.
Smooth Registration:
Facilitate the transition from intent-to-use to fully registered trademarks seamlessly.
Who Can Submit SOUs
Applicants who filed an intent-to-use trademark application are eligible. You must provide proof of actual use in commerce, including dates, specimen examples, and accurate business information to validate the trademark for USPTO approval.
