The window, counted from the registration date
The first Section 8 window runs from the 5th to the 6th anniversary of registration, then every 10 years. It is counted from the registration date, not the filing date or the first-use date - the mistake that kills marks.
The day the registration dies
Six months after the statutory deadline the grace period closes and the USPTO cancels or expires the registration. The tool prints that date and the days of margin left on your planned filing date.
Post-January-2025 fee table
Section 8 is $325 per class, not the $225 it was before 2025-01-18. Section 9 renewal is $325, the grace fee is $100 per class per component, Section 15 is $250, and paper filing costs more. All from the USPTO schedule revised 2026-08-14.
Madrid Section 71, not Section 8
A registration that came in through the Madrid Protocol (Section 66(a)) is maintained with a Section 71 declaration and is renewed at WIPO, not with a US Section 9. Pick the basis and the tool names the right filing.
Total out of pocket, per class
Adds your attorney or filing-service quote per class to the USPTO fee so the number on screen is the number that leaves your account.

Questions people ask

What does the US Trademark Renewal Clock actually do?

You type seven things: the registration date from the certificate, the date you plan to file, the number of classes, whether the basis is US or Madrid, Section 15 on or off, paper or electronic, and your professional quote per class. It returns nine values, including the statutory deadline, the day the USPTO cancels the registration, and the exact fee.

Who is it for?

US small-business and brand owners who filed their own trademark and now hold the registration, and IP paralegals who keep a renewal docket. Anyone who has to answer the question "is this mark still alive and what does it cost to keep it" without opening a billing file.

Why not just ask a chatbot or read the USPTO page?

The fees changed on 2025-01-18: Section 8 went from $225 to $325 per class. Language models trained before that still quote $225, and the USPTO page gives the fee table but does no date arithmetic. This counts the anniversaries from your registration date and applies the grace fee.

What is free and what costs money?

Every calculation is free with no key and no limit: all nine outputs from all seven inputs, any number of classes, any number of registrations, in the extension popup and on the web page. The $60 licence adds two things on a different axis: a .csv export of the worked result, and browser reminders 30, 14 and 1 day before your date.

What would this cost me otherwise?

An IP attorney charges $300-$500 per class for a maintenance filing on top of the USPTO fee. Missing the statutory deadline adds the USPTO grace fee of $100 per class per component, and missing the grace date cancels the registration, which means refiling from scratch.
