Trademark renewal keeps your brand legally protected and active. File your renewal on time, pay the fees, and receive your renewed certificate to maintain exclusive rights and prevent unauthorized use.
Overview
Trademark renewal is the official process of extending the validity of a registered trademark to maintain exclusive rights over your brand. In most jurisdictions, trademarks are valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely in 10-year increments. Renewing your trademark ensures legal protection, brand continuity, and prevention of unauthorized use. The process involves submitting a renewal application to the trademark office, paying the prescribed fees, and receiving a renewed certificate. Renewal can typically be filed 12 months before expiry and sometimes within a grace period after expiration.
Process
Step 1 - Check the expiry date of your trademark.
Step 2 – Gather all necessary documents, including the registration certificate.
Step 3 – Submit the renewal application online.
Step 4 – Pay the official government renewal fee.
Step 5 – Receive an acknowledgment or reference number for tracking.
Step 6 – Get the renewed trademark certificate, valid for the next 10 years.
