What is Trademark Renewal?

A Trademark Renewal extends the validity of your registered trademark for another 10 years. It helps you continue enjoying legal protection and prevents removal from the registry due to non-renewal.

Why is Trademark Renewal Important?

  • Maintain Legal Rights: Prevents third-party use of your registered brand name.
  • Brand Continuity: Keeps your trademark active without any interruption.
  • Avoid Penalties: Saves you from paying restoration charges after expiry.
  • Business Trust: Shows your brand’s long-term commitment to customers and partners.
  • Simple Process: Lawcify manages renewal filings quickly and accurately.

Overview

A Trademark Renewal is the process of extending the validity of an already registered trademark. In India, a trademark registration remains valid for 10 years from the date of application, after which it must be renewed to maintain protection and ownership rights. Renewal ensures that the registered mark remains legally valid and prevents others from claiming ownership or using a similar mark for similar goods or services.

If a trademark owner fails to renew within the prescribed time, the mark may be removed from the register, resulting in a loss of rights and reputation. However, the renewal can still be filed within a grace period of six months after expiry with payment of an additional late fee.

Lawcify provides complete support for Trademark Renewal in India, from checking renewal eligibility and preparing documents to submitting the application online through the Intellectual Property India (IP India) portal. Our experts ensure your brand protection continues without interruption.

Benefits of Trademark Renewal

Renewing your Trademark is not just a legal formality — it is an essential step for maintaining your brand’s value and long-term protection. Here are the major benefits of timely renewal:

  • Continued Legal Protection: Renewal keeps your trademark active and ensures uninterrupted legal protection under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
  • Exclusive Ownership Rights: You retain the exclusive right to use the mark and prevent competitors from copying or misusing it.
  • Safeguards Brand Reputation: A renewed trademark preserves your brand’s credibility, customer trust, and goodwill built over years of operation.
  • Unlimited Validity through Renewal: Trademarks can be renewed every 10 years indefinitely, providing permanent protection as long as renewals are maintained.
  • Prevents Unauthorized Use: It keeps your brand active in the trademark register, discouraging others from registering similar marks.

With Lawcify, you can renew your trademark hassle-free, avoiding lapses that may result in losing ownership or legal protection.
