We\u2019ve hit a huge milestone\u2014the Trademark Modernization Act\u2019s (TMA) expungement and reexamination proceedings have cleared over 25,000 goods and services from the trademark register. We couldn\u2019t have done it without you. Your petitions helped us identify and
clear unused goods and services that blocked other innovators from registering their trademarks. </p>

To obtain and maintain a registration, business owners must use their trademark in commerce for all the goods and services in the registration. When registered trademarks aren\u2019t used but remain on the register anyway, they clutter the trademark register, making
it difficult for legitimate businesses to obtain their own registrations for the same or similar marks. </p>
