What is Trademark Renewal?

Trademark renewal is the process of extending the validity of a registered trademark beyond its initial registration period of 10 years. Renewal helps maintain the exclusive rights associated with the trademark and ensures continued legal protection under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

When to Renew a Trademark?

1. Validity Period:
• A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of registration.
2. Renewal Window:
• The renewal application can be filed within 1 year before the expiry date.
3. Grace Period:
• If the renewal application is not filed before expiry, there is a 6-month grace period to renew the trademark with additional fees.
4. Late Renewal:
• Post the 6-month grace period, the trademark owner may still apply for restoration within an additional 6 months, subject to penalties.

Note: Failure to renew within these timelines may result in the removal of the trademark from the registry.

Government Fees for Trademark Renewal

Note: Additional professional fees may apply for consultancy and filing services at Filingscenter.
