USPTO to issue trademark renewal reminders in 2015 … FINALLY!

Source: USPTO.gov

reminderIn late January 2015, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) plans to begin sending courtesy email reminders of upcoming post-registration maintenance filing deadlines for §8 and §71 declarations and §9 renewals to registration owners who have (1) “live” registrations on the date of sending; (2) provided a valid email address to the USPTO; and (3) authorized email communication.  No reminders will be sent by regular mail, and no follow-up emails will be attempted for undeliverable emails.
