Proof-Of-Use Database

Document that you are using your brand.

With a trademark in the US, you need to continuously document that it is in use. The USPTO requires proof, and without the right documentation, you risk losing your rights. Often, the important task of collecting and submitting documentation is neglected in a busy workday, which can lead to annoying urgent cases with short deadlines and a heavy workload, for you and for us as advisors. This initiative is therefore intended as a kind of due diligence that potentially saves stress and costs for your company.

With our Proof-Of-Use Database, you can easily store and organize evidence of sales, marketing and online activity. So you're always prepared when the USPTO requires documentation.

Benefits of collecting documentation on an ongoing basis:

  • Avoid stress - you have everything together when the USPTO asks for proof.

  • Reduce the risk of losing your trademark registration.

  • Save time and resources - no panic searching for old receipts and advertisements, less costs for consultants

  • Stronger protection for your brand if trademark disputes arise.

A systematic approach to documentation keeps you in control of your brand and ensures your registration remains active. Start gathering your documentation today - your future you will thank you for it!

Our service

  • Reminder with instructions

    You will receive a quarterly reminder email from us containing a checklist for collecting proof of use. This gives you and your company a fixed point of reference and reminder of the task.

  • Cataloging of submitted evidence

    We catalog and store the submitted data in a system that ensures the material is easily accessible if proof of use needs to be submitted to the authorities.

  • Material assessment (optional)

    With a quarterly or biannual advisor review, an advisor will check for potential deficiencies in your submitted material, which is a recommended option, but you can also make use of the reminder and cataloging service.
