Abandoned Trademark Application Review
An abandoned application is no longer active. Whether it can be revived depends on why it was abandoned, when the notice issued, and the facts of the case. We start with the USPTO record before recommending any action.
Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM Pacific Time
First, identify the reason
A missed Office Action response, missed Statement of Use or extension, an incomplete response, and other issues can lead to different procedures. We review the Notice of Abandonment and application history rather than assume that one petition fits every case.
- USPTO serial number and current TSDR status
- Notice of Abandonment and its issue date
- The filing or response that was missed, if known
Review possible options
A petition to revive may be available for certain unintentional missed deadlines, but strict filing windows and specific requirements apply. In other situations, a new application or a different procedure may need to be considered. We will explain the likely path and quote before work begins.
Do not assume a petition will succeed
The USPTO decides petitions based on the record and applicable rules. Some abandoned applications cannot be revived, including certain intent-to-use applications after the statutory limit for a Statement of Use. Prompt review is especially important when a notice is recent.
Questions about this service
Can every abandoned application be revived?
No. The cause of abandonment, timing, and filing history determine whether a petition may be available.
What if I never received the notice?
The USPTO has specific rules for that situation. We would review the public record and dates before discussing a possible petition.
