What is Trademark Renewal?

Upon registering a trademark, you are permitted to use the ® symbol with your mark, and the registration is valid for 10 years. During this period, if the trademark is infringed, a lawsuit can be filed to prevent misuse.

When should the trademark be renewed?

Trademark renewal must be filed before the mark’s expiry. The renewal application should be prepared and submitted before the deadline to ensure seamless protection without litigation risks. Once renewed, the trademark has lifetime validity. It’s crucial to apply for trademark renewal before the 10-year expiry. The Trademark Ministry typically sends a notice to the registered office regarding the expiration. If renewal isn’t filed before the due date, the registrar may publish an intention to remove the trademark in a journal. If you miss the renewal deadline, you can still renew the trademark by paying a fine, a process called restoration. However, this may be subject to litigation.
