REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE A STATEMENT OF USE

The Trademark Act provides for extensions of time for filing a Statement of Use in connection with "intent-to-use" applications. Initially, an applicant may request a six-month extension of time to file the Statement of Use by submitting:

  1. a written request, prior to expiration of the six-month period following issuance of the Notice of Allowance;
  2. the prescribed fee; and
  3. a verified statement by the applicant that the applicant has a continued bona fide intention to use the Mark in commerce, specifying those goods or services identified in the Notice of Allowance on or in connection with which the applicant has a continued bona fide intention to use the Mark in Commerce.

An applicant may request further six-month extensions of time to file the Statement of Use by submitting:

  1. a written request, prior to expiration of a previously granted Extension of Time;
  2. the prescribed fee;
  3. a verified statement by the applicant that the applicant has a continued bona fide intention to use the Mark in commerce, specifying those goods or services identified in the Notice of Allowance on or in connection with which the applicant has a continued bona fide intention to use the Mark in Commerce; and
  4. a showing of good cause.
