Trademark Renewal
Ten years passes quickly. Renew before the mark lapses.
What this is

Businesses that received a renewal reminder from the registry

Acquirers checking the status of marks in a deal

A lapsed mark can be claimed by a competitor, renewal keeps the chain unbroken.
Surcharge minimised
Filing inside the grace window costs far less than restoration.
