What is a Statement of Use

A Trademark Statement of Use is a legal document that confirms your trademark is actively being used in commerce. This step is critical to finalize your trademark registration after you've filed an Intent to Use application. Once you’ve received a Notice of Allowance from the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), filing a Statement of Use proves your trademark is in commercial use and allows your registration to move forward.

At Trademark Savior, we ensure that the Statement of Use process is hassle-free, so you can focus on growing your business while we handle the legal details. With our expert guidance, you can be confident that your trademark is always in compliance and moving through the registration process without delay.

Who Needs to File a Statement of Use?

Trademark applicants who initially filed an Intent to Use (ITU) application before actually using their trademark in commerce are required to submit a Statement of Use. This important filing confirms that the applicant has begun using the trademark in commerce, allowing the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) to finalize the registration while you focus on building and growing your business.

The Notice of Allowance (NOA)

Once it's time to file your Statement of Use, the IPO will send you a Notice of Allowance (NOA). Receiving an NOA is a sign that your trademark has passed through nearly all stages of the registration process and is now nearing official approval. The only remaining step is to prove that your trademark is actively in use in commerce.

When Should You File Your Statement of Use?

The Statement of Use must be filed with the IPO once you’ve begun using your trademark in commerce. Typically, this filing is required within six months after receiving the Notice of Allowance (NOA). This document serves as proof that the trademark is being used as intended, and it is a necessary step for completing the registration.
It’s critical to file your Statement of Use on time. If you fail to do so within the specified time frame, your trademark application could be canceled or rejected, potentially costing you valuable time and resources. Therefore, it’s essential to submit the Statement of Use promptly to finalize your trademark’s registration and secure your brand’s protection.

What Happens After Filing the Statement of Use?

Once you file your Statement of Use, the IPO will review the document to ensure everything is in order. If your filing is accepted, your trademark will be officially registered, and you will receive a registration certificate. However, if any issues are found, the IPO may issue an office action, asking you to provide additional details or clarification. You will have time to respond and address any concerns. Once your Statement of Use is accepted, your trademark will be fully protected, granting you exclusive rights to use the mark for the specified goods and services.
