How do I renew my trademark registration?

Renewing your trademark registration in South Carolina is a straightforward process. First, you must confirm that your mark is still in use and has not become abandoned. Then, you must file a Renewal Declaration to the South Carolina Secretary of State. The Renewal Declaration must include the following information: the name and address of the trademark owner, the owner’s signature, description of the goods or services, a statement specifying the duration of the renewal period, and any other information requested by the Secretary of State. Finally, a fee must be submitted along with the Renewal Declaration. The fee can vary depending on the number of classes in which your mark is registered. If all of the information is accurate and up-to-date, your trademark registration will be renewed. If not, the Secretary of State may issue a notice of deficiency informing you of the required corrections. It is important to take action as soon as possible - if your trademark registration is not renewed in a timely manner, it could become abandoned, meaning someone else could register and use it.
