Request for Reactivation

alphanumeric designation must "reactivate" the designation by filling a new application
and requesting reactivation. The assignment documents must also be submitted with the
application. Note: Only one recorded alphanumeric designation may be reactivated per
application. Where a Certificate of Recordal is based on a trademark application or regis­
tration and the underlying application or registration has been assigned, the recordal shall
be designated "inactive" and CANNOT be reactivated. See 15 C.F.R. Section 280.323(b).
The new trademark owner must apply for a new recordal.
