Extension Request Periods
Number of Extension Request:
Statement of Use Submitted
Check here if a Statement of Use has already been submitted or is being submitted with this Extension request as evidence that the applicant believes that it has made valid use of, or if applicable, has exercised
legitimate control over the use of, the mark in commerce. If the USPTO finds the Statement of Use to be fatally defective, the applicant requests additional time to file an amended or substitute Statement of Use.
Request to Divide
Check here if you either submitted a Request to Divide in paper or are filing a Request to Divide as part of the TEAS Statement of Use form.
PLEASE NOTE: You must submit the request to divide in conjunction with a timely filed SOU unless an additional basis for registration already exists for the specific goods/services identified as not being covered
by this extension request. The mere filing of an extension request without the divisional request and a timely filed SOU is not sufficient. Accordingly, if you do not file a timely request to divide (and statement of use,
if required), the goods/services not covered by this extension will be deleted from the application and cannot later be reinserted. For more information on filing a Request to Divide, review TMEP ยงยง 1110-1110.07.
