What is trademark renewal?
When a renewal is due, what happens if it is missed, and why founders choose LegalWiz.in to file one.
A registered trademark in India expires after 10 years. Renewing it, online or offline and with the renewal fee, extends it for another 10, and there is no limit on how many times that can be done. A trademark can therefore be kept permanently, which no other intellectual property right allows.
The renewal application should be filed on or before the six months preceding the expiry date. The Registry sends the owner a notice about the expiry, the fee and the conditions before that point.
If the date passes, the mark is removed from the register and anyone else can claim it and register it in their own name. There is a six-month grace period after expiry in which the mark can still be restored, with additional fees and more documentation.

Government fees are charged at actuals. An application made after the expiry date attracts an additional fee.
When to renew
From one year before expiry
The renewal application cannot be made earlier than one year before the 10-year term ends.
Six months before is ideal
Filing about six months ahead leaves room for the Registry’s processing without running at the deadline.
Up to six months after
The Registry can condone a delay of up to six months after expiry. The application is still possible, with an additional fee.
Benefits of trademark renewal in India
Protection from frivolous litigation
A renewed mark makes it impossible for anyone other than the owner to claim rights over it, which is what keeps the protection seamless and keeps disputes from starting.
Ownership rights are extended
Exclusive rights over the mark run for another 10 years with each renewal, so protection against infringement of the brand name and the goodwill behind it continues indefinitely.
The brand name stays secure
Renewal is what makes protection continuous and unbroken. A failure to renew is a lapse in the legal protection of the brand name, and the register is public.
It keeps the asset saleable
A trademark owner has the exclusive right to assign or license the mark for a consideration. That right, and the value it carries, only exists while the registration is live.

Still have a question? Our team is happy to help, at no charge and with no obligation to buy anything.
When do I need to apply for a trademark renewal?
An application for renewal can be made no earlier than one year before the 10-year term expires. Applying about six months before the expiry date is ideal.
An application made after the 10 years have expired can only be filed with an additional fee.
Can I renew a trademark after it has already expired?
Yes, within limits. The Registry may condone a delay of up to six months after the 10-year term ends.
A renewal application filed in that window is accepted on payment of additional fees.
What is the trademark renewal process in India?
The renewal application is made online through a registered trademark attorney, with the renewal fee and any additional or late fee that applies. It can be filed from six months before the expiry date.
Before the mark expires the registrar sends the owner a notice about the expiry, the renewal fee and the conditions. If it lapses, the mark is removed from the register, and a six-month extension period after expiry is available with a late fee.
What happens if my trademark expires?
You can apply to restore an expired trademark within six months of the expiry date and carry on using it.
Leaving it that late is a risk: restoration attracts additional fees and more documentation than a renewal filed on time.
What are the consequences of failing to renew?
Severe ones. The trademark is removed from the register.
Once it is off the register, any other person can claim the name and get it registered to themselves.
What is the difference between registration and renewal?
Registration is the initial process that establishes exclusive ownership of a mark. It takes more documents and considerably more time.
Renewal simply continues that ownership and the right to use the mark, and it is due at the end of every 10-year term.
Do my rights change after renewal?
No. Renewal makes no change to the rights of the trademark holder.
For as long as the trademark is valid, the holder enjoys every right they acquired at the original registration.
Is a renewed trademark valid outside India?
No. Trademarks are territorial and are valid only in the country they are filed in.
Protection elsewhere needs a separate registration in each country, or an application through an international route such as WIPO.
