    Trademark Reinstatement

    Find the path after a lapse.

    Assess whether an abandoned application or cancelled registration can be revived, restored, or replaced with a new filing.

    Understand the record before choosing the next filing.

    We review the status, correspondence, deadlines, ownership, and use history to determine what happened and which paths deserve consideration. The right response depends on the record, not simply the desire to restore an old registration or application.

    We explain whether a recovery filing may be available or whether a new application or other strategy should be evaluated. You receive a recommendation grounded in the circumstances, without a promise that reinstatement can be obtained.

    What we handle

    • USPTO record and deadline review
    • Abandonment or cancellation diagnosis
    • Petition-to-revive eligibility
    • Maintenance-filing options
