Owning a registered trademark or actively using a unregistered trademark is the first step in making sure your trademark rights are enforced.

The benefit of keeping good maintenance of your trademarks is:
Preemptively defend against abandonment claims from 3rd parties.
Effectively exercise your trademark rights against would-be infringers.
Grow and strengthen your brand
Some trademark maintenance hints:
- Continuously document and timestamp the "proof of use" of your trademark
- This applies to registered marks as well as unregistered marks. If you don't use it you risk losing it.
- Always monitor the landscape to check that others are not attempting to use or infringe your marks.
- Always pay your fees on time.
- Engage a professional trademark firm to remind you when trademark renewal fees are due.
