Understanding the Process

Two Paths to Restore
Your Trademark.

When a trademark goes abandoned, the right path back depends on one thing: how long ago it lapsed. Under 6 months means you can revive it and keep your original filing date. Over 6 months means starting fresh. We handle both.

Path 1 — Petition to Revive

Revive your mark.
Keep your filing date.

If your trademark was abandoned less than 6 months ago, you can file a Petition to Revive under 37 CFR § 2.66. The USPTO restores your application, your original serial number stays intact, and — critically — your original filing date is preserved.

This matters because trademark priority is determined by filing date. Any competitor who filed after you but before your abandonment cannot leapfrog you when your mark is revived.

You qualify if:
  • Your trademark shows as abandoned in USPTO TSDR
  • The abandonment date is less than 6 months ago
  • The abandonment was unintentional (missed deadline, missed notice)
  • You have not previously claimed non-receipt on this same application
USPTO fees included: $250 petition fee + up to $150/class for extensions or Statement of Use filing. All built into the $797 flat rate.

Path 2 — Fresh Reapplication

Start fresh.
Get protected again.

If your trademark has been abandoned for more than 6 months, revival is no longer available under standard USPTO rules. The path forward is a fresh trademark application — filed as if for the first time, with a new serial number and a new filing date.

You lose the original priority date, but you regain full trademark protection going forward. We manage the entire application through examination, publication, and registration.

This path applies when:
  • Your trademark was abandoned more than 6 months ago
  • Revival was previously denied or is unavailable
  • The intent-to-use window exceeded 36 months from Notice of Allowance
  • You want to file under updated goods/services descriptions
USPTO fees included: $350/class application fee (standard electronic filing via USPTO Trademark Center). All built into the $897 flat rate.
What we do, step by step
01
Submit your mark details
Provide your mark name, goods/services, and any prior registration information. We confirm the reapplication path.
02
We prepare the application
We draft a complete TEAS application using the USPTO ID Manual, select the correct international classes, and prepare your specimen.
03
USPTO filing
We file electronically and pay the per-class application fee. You receive a new serial number and new filing date.
04
Case management to registration
We monitor examination, respond to Office Actions, and guide you through publication and registration — all included.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I revive an abandoned trademark?+

Yes — if your trademark was abandoned less than 6 months ago, you can file a Petition to Revive with the USPTO under 37 CFR § 2.66. This preserves your original filing date. If it has been more than 6 months, a fresh reapplication is required.

What is the difference between trademark revival and reapplication?+

A Petition to Revive (available when abandoned less than 6 months ago) restores your existing application with its original filing date preserved. A reapplication starts a brand-new application with a new filing date, meaning you lose your original priority position.

How long does trademark revival take?+

A Petition to Revive is typically processed by the USPTO in 3–6 months. A fresh reapplication takes 12–18 months from filing to registration under normal examination.

How much does it cost to revive a trademark?+

ReviveMark charges $797 all-in for a Petition to Revive (USPTO fees included) and $897 all-in for a fresh reapplication (USPTO fees included). There are no additional charges at checkout.

What USPTO fees are included?+

For revival: the $250 USPTO petition fee plus applicable class fees (approximately $125–150 per class). For reapplication: the $350 per-class USPTO application fee. All fees are built into our flat service price.

Do I need a trademark attorney to revive my trademark?+

You are not required to use an attorney for USPTO filings. ReviveMark handles the preparation and submission of your filing as a non-attorney filing service. For complex matters involving legal disputes or strategic advice about priority rights, consulting a licensed trademark attorney is recommended.

What if my trademark was abandoned more than 6 months ago?+

Once a trademark has been abandoned for more than 6 months, a Petition to Revive is no longer available (except in extraordinary circumstances via a Petition to the Director, which has a very low approval rate). The standard path is to file a fresh application. ReviveMark handles this for $897 all-in.

Will I keep my original trademark filing date if I revive?+

Yes. A successful Petition to Revive restores your application with the original filing date intact. This matters because your priority position against competing marks is determined by your filing date. A reapplication receives a new filing date and loses the original priority.

Not Sure Which Path Is Yours?

Submit your mark and we'll look up your USPTO record, confirm the abandonment date, and tell you exactly which path applies — at no charge.
