Trademark Renewal: Protect Your Brand for the Long Term

Your trademark is one of your most valuable assets—it represents your brand identity and distinguishes you from competitors. However, registration isn’t a one-time process. To maintain your trademark rights, timely renewal is essential.

With our trademark renewal services, you can ensure uninterrupted protection for your brand.

What is Trademark Renewal?

Trademark renewal is the process of extending the validity of your registered trademark. In India, a trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of registration and can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years.

Failing to renew a trademark can result in:

• Loss of exclusive rights over the trademark.
• Risk of third parties claiming or using your brand.
• Additional costs and legal hurdles for reinstating the trademark.

Benefits of Renewing Your Trademark

1. Maintain Exclusive Rights
   Ensure your legal rights over the trademark remain intact, preventing unauthorized use.
2. Strengthen Brand Value
   A continuously registered trademark boosts your brand’s reputation and market value.
3. Uninterrupted Legal Protection
   Keep your brand safeguarded against infringement and misuse.
4. Long-Term Business Growth
   A renewed trademark supports your expansion efforts, locally and internationally.

The Trademark Renewal Process

Here’s how trademark renewal works in India:

1. Filing the Renewal Application
   Submit a Form TM-R with the Trademark Registry. This can be done up to 6 months before the expiration date of the trademark.
2. Renewal with Modification (if applicable)
   If changes are needed to the trademark (e.g., updating ownership details or goods/services description), they can be made during renewal.
3. Acceptance by the Registrar
   Once approved, the trademark is renewed, and a renewal certificate is issued.
4. Grace Period (if needed)
   If you miss the deadline, you have a 6-month grace period to renew your trademark by paying an additional late fee.
