About USPTO Extension of Use For Your Trademark
Learn what an Extension of Time means for your Intent-to-Use application and how it helps you hold your rights while you prepare to use your mark in commerce.
Get StartedIf you do not file an extension before the deadline, the USPTO will treat your application as abandoned and you may lose your original filing date.
An Intent to Use (ITU) application reserves rights to a mark you plan to use. If usage is not ready by your deadline, you can request an extension to maintain your application.
It’s a six-month extension to file your Statement of Use (SOU). You can request up to five extensions (maximum 30 additional months).
When to File Extension of Use ?
You can file an extension before your six-month deadline, starting from your Notice of Allowance if you haven’t yet used the mark. If you have already started using the mark, you must file a Statement of Use instead of an extension.

Could not be more happy
I have been working with attorney Michael Markos and his team for several years on multiple items. They just helped me again acquire a new trademark. They are punctual and keep your business needs organized with effective follow up.

Consistently good
I’ve used Legal Mark Expert for six or seven TM applications. We’ve been successful with all of them, even getting registrations on ones that started out somewhat doubtful. I’ve been very happy with my experience.
