Trademark Renewal

Trademark owners can extend the validity of their trademark every ten years. The Registrar provides a six-month grace period before the expiration date, allowing the trademark holder to renew their registration and maintain its benefits. If the renewal isn’t completed in time, the Registrar will publish a notice of the trademark’s removal in the Trademark Journal.

Overview - Trademark Renewal

In India, trademark registration remains valid for 10 years. To maintain exclusive rights and legal protection for your brand, you must renew the trademark before it expires. This involves filing Form TM-R with the Trademark Registry and paying the applicable fee. Renewal extends your trademark’s validity for another 10 years, ensuring uninterrupted protection of your brand name, logo, or slogan.

It’s advisable to start the renewal process at least 6 months before the expiration date to avoid lapses in protection or legal complications.

Key Benefits of Trademark Renewal

Continued Brand Protection: Renewal safeguards your brand’s identity — preventing competitors from using similar marks that might confuse customers.

Preserves Exclusive Rights: Without renewal, your trademark rights lapse, allowing others to register similar trademarks. This could weaken your brand’s distinctiveness and market position.

Strengthens Legal Protection: A renewed trademark enhances your ability to take legal action against unauthorized use or infringement, helping protect your brand’s reputation.

Supports Licensing & Franchising: With an active, renewed trademark, you can license or franchise your brand, opening new revenue opportunities while giving partners confidence in your brand’s legal standing.

Boosts Brand Value: A consistently renewed trademark reflects a strong, established, and committed brand — fostering consumer trust and increasing your brand’s overall value.

How to Renew a Trademark Renewal

A registered trademark remains valid for 10 years and must be renewed before it expires. The Registrar of Trademarks sends a reminder 6 months prior to the expiration date.

When renewing a trademark, you have two options:

1.Renew the trademark without any changes.
2.Renew the trademark with modifications or alterations.

The renewal application must be submitted using Form TM-R.

Who Can File the Renewal?

  • The registered owner of the trademark.
  • An authorized agent or legal representative on behalf of the owner.

Monitoring the Renewal Process

After submitting the renewal application, it’s essential to track its status. If anyone from the public raises an opposition to the renewal, the applicant must respond promptly to avoid delays or rejection.

Upon approval, the renewed trademark is published in the Trademark Journal — confirming its protection for another 10 years. This cycle of renewal can continue indefinitely.

Trademark Renewal Fees

The cost of renewal depends on how the application is submitted:

  • Physical filing: ₹10,000
  • Online filing (e-filing): ₹9,000

Trademark Renewal Procedure in India

The trademark renewal process in India ensures continuous protection of your brand. Here’s a streamlined breakdown of the steps and required documentation:

Step 1: Filing the Renewal Application

  • Complete Form TM-R and submit it to the Trademark Registry.
  • Provide key details, including:
    • Trademark registration number
    • Current trademark status
    • Applicant’s contact information

Step 2: Scrutiny and Review

  • The Registry reviews the application to ensure the trademark is eligible for renewal and meets all legal requirements.
  • If any issues or discrepancies are found, the Registry notifies the applicant, who must respond within the given timeframe.

Step 3: Publication in the Trademark Journal

  • Once approved, the renewed trademark is published in the Trademark Journal for 4 months, allowing the public to raise objections.
  • If an opposition is filed, the applicant must respond promptly. A hearing may be scheduled to resolve disputes if necessary.

Step 4: Issuance of the Renewal Certificate

  • After the 4-month publication period — and provided no objections remain — the Registry grants the Trademark Renewal Certificate.
  • This certificate officially confirms the renewal, extending the trademark’s validity for another 10 years.
