Trademark Registration is a long process that takes a number of documents and requires more time than the renewal.

After completion of every 10 years, the trademark needs to be renewed.

What are the consequences of failure to renew the trademark?

Trademark renewal does not create any changes in the rights of the trademark holder. As long as the trademark is valid, the trademark holder would enjoy all the rights that he/she acquired during the primary registration.

Is the trademark valid outside India?

Trademarks are usually territorial and are valid only in the country where they are filed. However, one can file for registration separately in individual countries, which can be an expensive proposition or you can submit an application via WIPO or CTM for registration across multiple countries.
