What is Trademark Renewal?

Trademark renewal is the process of extending the validity of a registered trademark for a further period of ten years. A trademark in India is registered for ten years from the date of application, and it can be renewed indefinitely, keeping your exclusive rights alive for as long as you renew.

Renewal should be filed before the registration expires; a grace period and restoration option exist if you miss the date, usually with additional fees. Keeping your registration in force protects your ability to take enforcement action and preserves the brand asset you can later transfer.

Who Should Renew a Trademark?

Owners of registered trademarks approaching the ten-year mark.
Businesses that want uninterrupted brand protection.
Owners whose mark has lapsed and needs restoration.
Companies managing a portfolio of marks across multiple classes.
Anyone who wants to keep the right to use the ® symbol and enforce it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does a trademark need to be renewed in India?

A registered trademark in India is valid for ten years from the date of application and must be renewed every ten years to remain in force. There is no limit on the number of renewals.

When should I file for trademark renewal?

Renewal should be filed before the registration expires. Filing early avoids the risk of lapse, and the Registry generally allows renewal within a window before the expiry date.

What happens if I miss the trademark renewal date?

If you miss the renewal date, there is usually a grace period to renew with a surcharge, and a lapsed mark can often be restored within the prescribed time through a restoration application, with additional fees.

Can a lapsed trademark be restored?

Yes. A trademark that has lapsed for non-renewal can generally be restored by applying within the prescribed period and paying the applicable fees, subject to the conditions under the Act.

What are the consequences of not renewing a trademark?

If a trademark is not renewed and the grace and restoration periods pass, it can be removed from the register, and you lose the exclusive rights and the ability to enforce the mark.

Can I update details when renewing my trademark?

Yes. Renewal is a good time to ensure your ownership and address particulars are correct and up to date in the register, and we handle the necessary updates.
