What is the “next deadline”?
Some actions have to be conducted at specific time limits:
1. Answer to Official Action: we have to answer to the Office before the deadline (see point 14 above) – Please provide us with your answer as soon as possible
2. Answer to Opposition: an opposition has been filed against your trademark application, and we have to prepare an answer (see point 16 above). We need your approval regarding the content and the type of answer – provide your instructions as soon as possible in order to be able to prepare an useful defense.
3. Payment of Registration Fees: registration fees have to be paid before this deadline; we need your payment before proceeding to registration. In absence of payment your trademark will not be registered and you will have secured NO rights on your trademark.
4. Renewal: your trademark right is protected for a specific time period, normally 10 years as from application (filing) date. We will normally send you a reminder, but note this deadline into your calendar: in absence of renewal you will loose your rights!
