    (a) Application to renew. To continue uninterrupted Customs 
protection for trademarks, the trademark owner shall submit a written 
application to renew Customs recordation to the Intellectual Property 
Rights Branch not later than 3 months after the date of expiration of 
the current 20-year trademark registration issued by the U.S. Patent and 
Trademark Office. A timely application to renew a Customs recordation 
must include the following:
    (1) A status copy of the certificate of registration certified by 
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office showing renewal of the trademark 
and title to be in the name of the applicant;
    (2) A statement describing any change of ownership or in the name of 
owner, in compliance with Secs. 133.5 and 133.6 of this part, and any 
change of addresses of owners or places of manufacture; and
    (3) A fee of $80 for each renewal of a trademark recordation. Where 
the trademark covers several classes, a fee of $80 is required for each 
class. A check or money order shall be made payable to the United States 
Customs Service.
    (b) Delayed application. Upon request made during the grace period 
of 3 months afforded by paragraph (a) of this section, a trademark owner 
whose application for renewal of recordation is unavoidably delayed may 
be afforded a reasonable extended period within which to comply with the 
requirements of paragraph (a) of this section. The request shall be in 
writing, addressed to the Intellectual Property Rights Branch, and shall 
set forth the circumstances due to which application is delayed.
    (c) Untimely application. Failure of the trademark owner to submit a 
renewal application within the 3-month grace period afforded in 
accordance

granted in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section, shall deprive 
the trademark owner of the renewal process. A delinquent applicant will 
be required to apply anew to record the renewed trademark in accordance 
with the procedures and requirements of Secs. 133.2 and 133.3.
