It has been just over 6 months since the Notice Of Allowance (NOA) was issued for the trademark of Revival House, the name of Kathryn’s latest production company. In that time no evidence was submitted to the USPTO (United States Patent & Trademark Office) that shows the mark being used commercially, as is required.
Last week an application was made by Kathryn’s legal representative to extend the period in which a Statement Of Use (SOU) can be provided. The extension request was quickly granted. This means that there is now another half year added to the time before an SOU has to be filed.
However, the April 2013 deadline is not necessarily the end of it as the process can be repeated another 4 times, giving a total of 3 years from the NOA to use the mark. If an extension period passes without a request for more time, or the 3 year limit is reached, then the mark will abandoned. We saw this with Kathryn’s previous company: Hotplate Productions.
Hopefully before we get to April we will hear news of Kathryn’s plans for the Revival House production company.
