1. United States

In the United States, trademark applications can be based on "intention to use" and "already used". If a trademark is applied for based on "intention to use", the Trademark Office will issue an "Approval Registration Notice" to the applicant about 2 months after the trademark is announced. Applicants need to submit an oath of use and relevant evidence within 6 months after receiving the notification, and pay the relevant oath fees.

In addition, an oath of use and relevant evidence of use are required to be submitted between the 5th and 6th years after registration. And each time you submit a renewal application, you also need to submit an oath of use and relevant evidence of use.

2. Philippines

In the Philippines, a Declaration of Actual Use (DAU) must be submitted in the third year after a trademark application is submitted, otherwise the trademark will be automatically revoked. The Philippine "Guidelines for the Affidavit of Actual Use" stipulates that the trademark owner must sign and notarize the DAU in the prescribed form within the specified period (you can apply for an extension of 6 months), and submit it together with evidence of actual use of the trademark (such as product labels) and brochures) (the official will not notify the trademark owner to submit DAU at that time).

In addition, in the fifth year after trademark registration (within the 5th anniversary), a trademark use oath and related evidence are also required to be submitted.

3. Cambodia

In the 5th to 6th year after trademark registration, after the trademark registration is completed, a declaration of use/non-use needs to be submitted. If not submitted, it may will be revoked. However, if the customer submits a declaration of use/non-use in the 5th to 6th year after registration, the trademark will not be revoked regardless of whether it is used or not.
