A: You will need to refile. When you prepare the application, look under the section dealing with "miscellaneous" and provide the serial number of the earlier application. Good luck.
A: Trademark application abandonment typically occurs when an applicant fails to file a response to an office action rejection or fails to file a Statement of Use. If many years have passed, you may submit a new application for trademark registration. You should work with a trademark attorney to avoid problems with your application.
