Notice
regarding Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998:
Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 requires that all
U.S. Federal Agencies make their web sites fully accessible to
individuals with disabilities. See 29 U.S.C. §794d. While the
Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) forms do comply with
Section 508, the PDF preview of the TEAS forms currently do not meet
all standards for web accessibility. If you cannot access a TEAS form
preview or have any questions about this notice, please contact the
Trademark Assistance Center (TAC) at 1-800-786-9199 (select
option#1), Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., ET.

Declaration
of Use of Mark in Commerce Under Section 8
|
(15
U.S.C. § 1058)
TEAS - Version 7.6
|
|
You
must file a Section 8 declaration, specimen, and fee on a
date that falls on or between the fifth (5th) and sixth
(6th) anniversaries of the registration (or, for an extra
fee of $100.00 per class, you may file within the six-month
grace period following the sixth (6th) anniversary date).
You must subsequently file a Section 8 declaration,
specimen, and fee on a date that falls on or between the
ninth (9th) and tenth (10th) anniversaries of the
registration, and each successive ten-year period thereafter
(or, for an extra fee of $100.00 per class, you may file
within the six-month grace period). FAILURE TO FILE A
SECTION 8 DECLARATION WILL RESULT IN CANCELLATION OF THE
REGISTRATION. Note:
Because the time for filing a ten-year Section 8 declaration
coincides with the time for filing a Section 9 renewal
request, a combined
§§ 8 & 9 form exists.
