Show Real Use Before Approval Stalls

Applications filed on an intent-to-use basis require a Statement of Use before registration is finalized, a filing that must include specific evidence of the mark's use in commerce. We verify your use meets the required legal standard and submit within the applicable window.

This is the standard US Legal Counselapplies to every trademark registration and every stage of trademark strategy, treating brand protection and brand monitoring as a continuous responsibility rather than a filing that ends once a certificate is issued.

Missing This Filing Forfeits Your Application

An intent-to-use application that never receives a timely Statement of Use is deemed abandoned, forfeiting the priority date and any protections established during the application process, often requiring a completely new filing to restart. Left unaddressed, these gaps tend to widen rather than resolve on their own, and they often surface at the exact moment your brand protection matters most.
