Registered trademarks require maintenance. Aside from monitoring for infringers, documents must be filed periodically with the trademark registry to keep the registration alive. In the United States, the registrant of a trademark must file affidavits of use indicating  continual use of the Trademark in commerce. International registries have their own maintenance schedules, but also require periodical filings. Those filings must include specimens that authenticate and show the actual use in commerce. All filings are reviewed for accuracy and authenticity by an examining attorney.
