What is the expiration and renewal process for a trademark in Arkansas?

In Arkansas, trademark registrations have a duration of five years from the date of issuance. However, renewal is required between the fifth and sixth year, and every ten years thereafter. The renewal process involves filing a renewal application with the Arkansas Secretary of State's office and paying the appropriate fee. Renewal applications must include the trademark owner's name and address, the trademark information, and any changes that have occurred since the initial registration. It is the responsibility of the trademark owner to monitor and track their registration's expiration date and ensure timely renewal. Failure to renew the trademark within the specified timeframe may result in loss of protection. Additional information and forms related to trademark registration and renewal can be found on the Arkansas Secretary of State's website.
