I want to Cancel or Annul a Trademark

The USPTO will cancel a trademark usually for a lack of use or by request.  Between the fifth and sixth years after a trademark has been registered, the owner will be required to file maintenance documentation with accompanying fees.  Failure to do so will render a trademark abandoned and the trademark registration will be automatically cancelled by the USPTO for a lack of use.  If a party contests the use of a trademark in commerce because its use causes damage to the one contesting the mark, the USPTO will allow the one contesting the use of a mark to file a Petition to Cancel the trademark.  If the cancellation petition goes uncontested, the mark will be cancelled.
