Trademark law allows for a six-month extension of the "intent to use" trademark application. This extension can be requested for a maximum of five times, extending the time period to use the trademark to a total of three years. Therefore, John Crichton should apply for a six-month extension to retain his trademark logo until he uses it in commerce.
