Your Questions, Answered

1What exactly is a Statement of Use?

A Statement of Use (SOU) is a legal filing submitted to the USPTO that proves a trademark is genuinely in commercial use. It's mandatory for trademarks originally filed on an intent-to-use basis.

Once the USPTO issues a Notice of Allowance for your application, you have a six-month window to submit the Statement of Use or request an extension if you're not yet using the mark.

You'll need to submit:

  • Evidence that the trademark is actively used in commerce.
  • A specimen displaying the trademark on the goods or services named in your application (such as product labels, website screenshots, or ads).
  • The dates you first used the trademark anywhere, and the date you first used it in commerce.

Acceptable specimens can include packaging, labels, tags, or a website that shows the mark used alongside the sale of goods or services. It needs to demonstrate the mark's genuine use in commerce.

Missing the deadline to file the SOU or an extension means your application will be deemed abandoned, and you'll forfeit your priority filing date.

Yes, you're allowed up to five six-month extension requests, which gives you a maximum of three years from the Notice of Allowance to submit the SOU.

USTML assists in preparing and submitting your Statement of Use, making sure your specimens satisfy USPTO requirements and that everything is filed accurately and on time.

In certain situations, you're permitted to amend your application to narrow the scope of goods or services, though you cannot add new goods or services beyond what was originally listed.
