A statement of use trademark filing is an official confirmation to the USPTO that your trademark is actively being used in commerce. After receiving a Notice of Allowance, applicants must provide this documentation within the required deadline to keep the trademark application moving forward. Submitting the correct details, along with the appropriate specimen and filing fee, ensures your application remains valid and eligible for final registration.
Your submission must clearly show how the mark is used with your goods or services. This proof of use trademark includes providing acceptable evidence, properly completed forms, and a signed declaration confirming accuracy. Missing or incomplete information can slow down approval or result in additional USPTO inquiries.
The Notice of Allowance confirms that your trademark has passed the main examination phase and is approved, pending the final proof that the mark is in use. It signals you are in the final stage of the process. At this point, any remaining requirements must be resolved through a properly submitted SOU trademark filing to avoid delays or abandonment.
