Search 15 U.S.C. § 1141j : US Code - Section 1141J: Dependence of extension of protection to the United States on the underlying international registration

(a) Effect of cancellation of international registration
If the International Bureau notifies the United States Patent and
Trademark Office of the cancellation of an international
registration with respect to some or all of the goods and services
listed in the international registration, the Director shall cancel
any extension of protection to the United States with respect to
such goods and services as of the date on which the international
registration was canceled.
(b) Effect of failure to renew international registration
If the International Bureau does not renew an international
registration, the corresponding extension of protection to the
United States shall cease to be valid as of the date of the
expiration of the international registration.
(c) Transformation of an extension of protection into a United
States application
The holder of an international registration canceled in whole or
in part by the International Bureau at the request of the office of
origin, under article 6(4) of the Madrid Protocol, may file an
application, under section 1051 or 1126 of this title, for the
registration of the same mark for any of the goods and services to
which the cancellation applies that were covered by an extension of
protection to the United States based on that international
registration. Such an application shall be treated as if it had
been filed on the international registration date or the date of
recordal of the request for extension of protection with the
International Bureau, whichever date applies, and, if the extension
of protection enjoyed priority under section 1141g of this title,
shall enjoy the same priority. Such an application shall be
entitled to the benefits conferred by this subsection only if the
application is filed not later than 3 months after the date on
which the international registration was canceled, in whole or in
part, and only if the application complies with all the
requirements of this chapter which apply to any application filed
pursuant to section 1051 or 1126 of this title.
