If you already own a registered trademark, the review starts with its certificate and file. Signaria IP assesses its position to identify the appropriate action and any missing information. The grant date, applicable regime and registration history matter.
Renewal and use declarations are different actions.
Renewal concerns continuation of the registration term. A declaration of use addresses an obligation that must be assessed against the registration’s dates and conditions. The age of the business or a single invoice date is not enough to determine the action required.
We also review how the mark is used and for which goods or services. Any changes to the name, logo or owner should be identified before documents are prepared.
What we review with you.
- Registration number, owner and certificate details.
- Grant date, term and previous actions.
- Current use of the sign and relevant goods or services.
- Whether renewal, a use declaration or another action is appropriate.
- Preparation, submission and follow-up of the agreed action.
A file that serves the business.
An orderly portfolio helps establish who owns the rights, what is protected and which decisions remain open. We can review one registration or a set of marks and propose the monitoring scope you need.
Mention any approaching date or possible missed obligation in your initial inquiry. Available actions depend on the file and applicable deadlines. A review does not mean that expired or lost rights can necessarily be restored.
YOUR STARTING POINT
What to prepare for the assessment.
- Certificate, registration number or application number.
- Records of previous actions and communications received.
- General information about current use of the mark.
- Any known changes in owner, address, name or visual identity.
You can inquire even if you do not yet have all these details.
Tailored professional fees.
Each matter is assessed individually. Before work begins, we provide a fee proposal distinguishing professional fees from applicable official charges and defining the included services.
Questions about this service.
Is renewal automatic?
Continued use of the mark or possession of the certificate should not be taken to mean the registration remains in force. We review the application and documents appropriate to your file.
Can you review a registration handled by someone else?
Yes. We can start with the registration number and available documents, then identify the representation and steps needed to act.
How do I identify my applicable deadline?
The certificate, grant date, applicable rules and file history must be reviewed. A generic calculator does not replace that assessment.
