A: When a trademark shows status as Abandoned, is it usually cause by a failure to timely respond to an office action. You may be able to file a petition to revive the application depending on how much time has passed. Consult with a trademark attorney for more information.

A: Investigate promptly because you may be able to fix the situation – depending on the timing. Contact your attorney involved with the trademark – or look for a missed communication you should have received if you are filing yourself. Or, reach out to another trademark attorney to help.
