If your previous law firm missed an Office Action or Statement of Use deadline, your trademark rights may still be revivable. We help brand owners restore abandoned USPTO applications with a 98% registration success rate on completed cases.
Discovering that your trademark application was declared dead by the USPTO, often without your knowledge, is frustrating. Most abandonments happen not because a brand isn't protectable, but because high-volume filing services fail to manage deadlines.
Prior counsel failed to respond to an Office Action within the strict response window.
The 6-month extension window elapsed without the required filing or extension request.
Responses were submitted incorrectly or without proper specimen evidence.
The Good News
Under USPTO rules (37 C.F.R. § 2.66), if an application abandonment was unintentional, you can petition the Director to revive your application and retain your original filing date, provided you act within the USPTO's strict 6-month cutoff.
We do not run a mass-volume filing factory. We provide precision trademark prosecution focused on protecting your business investment.
Over 98% of our completed USPTO filings achieve official registration, significantly higher than the ~60% national attorney average.
Less than 2% of our finalized cases encounter unrevivable refusals.
We handle TEAS Petitions to Revive and strategic refilings swiftly to prevent permanent loss of brand ownership.
Book a dedicated consultation. We review your USPTO file history, identify prior counsel's filing errors, and determine whether your mark qualifies for a Petition to Revive or requires a strategic refiling.
We draft and file the formal Petition to Revive, correct the underlying procedural default (such as filing the missing Office Action response or Statement of Use), and submit it directly to the USPTO Director.
We monitor your application at every stage through registration so you never miss another USPTO deadline.
Strict 6-Month USPTO Time Limit
The USPTO enforces an absolute statutory limit on application revivals. A Petition to Revive must generally be filed within 2 months of the Notice of Abandonment, and no later than 6 months after the abandonment date listed in the USPTO system. Once 6 months have passed, the mark is permanently dead and must be refiled.
Confidential case evaluation. We review your USPTO file history and prepare your recovery strategy prior to your scheduled consultation.
Your Name Is Waiting
Your nationwide federal rights officially begin on the date the USPTO issues your registration certificate, but filing early protects your priority from day one against anyone else who tries to file after you. Start with a $679 search, get your report in 3 business days, and talk it through with your attorney before you spend anything on an application.
