What does the term "Reviving an Abandoned Application" refer to?

The term "Reviving an Abandoned Application" specifically refers to the process of filing a petition to reinstate an abandoned trademark application. When an applicant fails to respond to a USPTO communication within the prescribed timeframe, the application may become abandoned. However, the applicant has the opportunity to revive this application through a formal process where they can submit a petition. This petition must demonstrate that the abandonment was unintentional and should include the requisite fee, as well as any responses that were previously due.

This option accurately captures the legal procedures and possible remedies available within trademark law, allowing an applicant to continue pursuing registration after an abandonment event. The other options do not reflect this specific legal process: filing a new application does not relate to the revival of the old one, canceling an application implies a complete abandonment with no intent to recover, and submitting a statement of use is a part of maintaining an application rather than reviving one that has been abandoned.
