According to Article 8 of the United States Trademark Law, the registrant takes an oath of use in the 5th-6th year after registration, that is, in the whole year of the 5th or 6th year, stating that the trademark will continue to be used in commerce, in the designated goods/services, or that the registrant has not used the trademark for other special reasons, and such non-use does not mean to give up the trademark. Otherwise, at the expiration of the sixth year from the date of publication of the registration, the US Patent and Trademark Office will cancel the registration of the trademark.

2. Article 15 Use Oath

According to Article 15 of the United States Trademark Law, if a trademark registrant has used its registered trademark in the United States for five consecutive years since the date of trademark registration, the registrant can obtain indisputable rights through application. After the oath is successful, any third party can no longer ask the American Appeals Tribunal to cancel the registration of the trademark on the grounds that the trademark lacks distinctiveness.

3. Renewal

The validity period of a registered trademark in the United States is 1 years, counting from the date of registration. Within six months before the expiration of the validity period, the trademark owner can submit an application for renewal to the US Patent and Trademark Office, and still need to submit a statement of use, that is, the 9-1 year oath mentioned above.
