Trademark Renewal

What is Trademark Renewal?

Trademark renewal is the legal process of extending the validity of your registered trademark for another 10 years. If not renewed on time, your trademark can be removed from the register — leaving your brand vulnerable to misuse or duplication.

Once you get your trademark registered, it is valid for 10 years. After which, it can be renewed for another 10 years and so on. To enjoy the benefits of a registered trademark continuously, it must be renewed on or before the renewal date.

The renewal application has to be filed in a prescribed form (TM-R)  with the prescribed fees on or before six (6) months from the date of expiration of registration.

What If You Miss the Renewal Deadline?

If your trademark is not renewed on time:

• You get a 6-month grace period to file with a late fee.

• After 6 months, the trademark is liable to be removed.

• Restoration is possible within 1 year by filing Form TM-R with an additional restoration fee.

Delay can cost your brand’s legal exclusivity — avoid last-minute stress with our expert help.
