    Statement of Use Timeline: Deadlines and Extensions

    The word allowance can sound like permission to celebrate. In a USPTO Notice of Allowance, it signals something more specific: your intent-to-use application has reached another milestone, and a six-month deadline now matters. The Statement of Use timeline deserves attention even if your launch is still months away.

    The Statement of Use timeline is part of finishing an intent-to-use application. Approval of the name for publication does not remove the requirement to prove qualifying commercial use. This article explains general deadlines and business risks, not how to prepare a filing or choose a legal strategy. A trademark attorney should review your application, confirm its deadlines, and advise on the appropriate next step.
