Tips that save you a trip

- If the owner's name or address changed, record the change before renewing.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- More than 6 months passed since the protection ended: the mark can no longer be renewed and must be filed again.
- Applicant is not the recorded owner or the agent's power of attorney is missing.
