Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ### How long do I have to revive my application? The deadline is strictly **two months** from the date on the Notice of Abandonment. If you never received the notice, you must act within two months of learning about the abandonment (and no later than six months after the abandonment date). ### What if my Office Action was complex? The $299 attorney-led revival fee covers a **Simple Office Action** response. If the underlying refusal involves "Likelihood of Confusion" or complex legal arguments, an additional professional drafting fee will apply to resolve the substantive refusal. Even for complex cases, LegalHoop maintains a commitment to **standardized, low-cost legal excellence**. You never have to worry about unpredictable hourly billing. If you are unsure about the nature of your Office Action, please contact our support team for a detailed consultation. We will provide a precise assessment and a transparent, fixed-fee quote based on your specific case complexity. ### Should I revive my application or just file a new one? In most cases, reviving your original application is the superior choice because it preserves your **Priority Date** (the original filing date), protecting your brand against any similar marks filed after yours. However, there are specific instances where a fresh start makes more sense: * **When to Re-apply**: If the total cost of revival exceeds your budget or the cost of a new filing, or if the underlying legal issues in the original application are too difficult to overcome. This is a viable option if you haven't yet made significant investments in that specific application. * **Expert Guidance**: If you are unsure which path to take, contact our team for a **precise assessment**. We will compare both options to recommend the most cost-effective solution for you. **But remember to act fast—USPTO deadlines are strict, and once the revival window closes, your options become much more limited.** Our goal is to ensure you don't spend more than necessary while maintaining the strongest possible legal protection for your brand. ### Are government fees refundable? **No.** The USPTO does not refund petition fees or extension fees, even if the petition to revive is denied. This is why professional review is highly recommended. --- ## 5.
