The Mississippi Application to Register or Renew Trade and Service Marks is a form used to register or renew a trademark or service mark in the state of Mississippi. This application is filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State's Office and must be accompanied by a fee. The Mississippi Application to Register or Renew Trade and Service Marks is divided into two main types: New Application and Renewal Application. The New Application is used to register a trademark or service mark for the first time in the state of Mississippi. To file a New Application, the applicant must provide the Secretary of State's Office with information such as the name of the mark owner, the type of mark (word or design), a description of the goods or services associated with the mark, and a specimen of the mark (for example, a logo). The Renewal Application is for renewing an existing trademark or service mark in Mississippi. To file a Renewal Application, the applicant must provide the Secretary of State's Office with information such as the name of the mark owner, the registration number, and a specimen of the mark. The Renewal Application must be filed within three years of the expiration date of the registration. Both the New Application and Renewal Application must be accompanied by a filing fee. The fee is based on the number of classifications of goods or services associated with the mark.
