What happens when a trademark is republished and is not opposed?

When a trademark is republished and is not opposed, a new certificate with a new registration date and number is issued. This process typically occurs when a trademark application has previously been published for opposition and either faced no opposition or has resolved any issues raised during that opposition period.

Republishing occurs in contexts like when amendments or changes made to the application necessitate a new look at the mark, giving interested parties a chance to oppose the registration once more. If the trademark remains unopposed after the republication, the USPTO will proceed to issue a new registration certificate. This new certificate carries a new registration date and a new number to reflect the outcome of the republication process.

The other options illustrate differing scenarios that do not apply in this case. For instance, a new certificate being issued with the original registration date would not reflect the changes made or the fact that the trademark has undergone a renewed examination phase. Similarly, if a trademark were permanently abandoned or subject to immediate cancellation, it would indicate a failure to maintain the trademark rather than the process of successful republication.
