What is Trademark Renewal?
All you need to know
On registration of a trademark, you are permitted to use the R symbol with trademark and this registration is valid for a period of 10 years. During registration, in case of infringement of a trademark, a lawsuit can be filed to prevent misuse of the mark.
When the Trademark should be renewed?
Trademark renewal has to be filed before expiry of the mark. The trademark renewal application form must be prepared and filed before a deadline to enjoy the seamless protection of the trademark without any chances of litigation. Once renewed, it has lifetime validity.
It is important for you to ensure that you apply for renewal of trademarks beforehand i.e. before the expiry of 10 years. There’s a practice of Trademark Ministry to send a notice to the registered office regarding the expiry. However, you would not wish to do so. If you have not filed before renewal due date, a registrar may advertise its intention to remove the trademark in a journal. In case you have not applied for renewal before expiry, you may do so later on by paying fine. This process is called restoration. However, it may be subject to litigation.

FAQs On Trademark Renewal
Get answers to all your queries
-
What is trademark renewal?
Trademark renewal is the legal process of extending the protection of your registered trademark beyond its original 10-year validity period. In India, if you do not renew the trademark on time, it can be removed from the Trademark Register, resulting in loss of rights.
-
When should a trademark be renewed in India?
A trademark should be renewed six months before its expiry date. Additionally, the government provides a 6-month grace period after expiry, during which you can still renew the trademark by paying an additional late fee.
-
How long does a renewed trademark remain valid?
Once renewed, a trademark remains valid for another 10 years from the previous expiry date. You can continue renewing it every decade to retain legal protection indefinitely.
-
What happens if I fail to renew my trademark on time?
If you miss the renewal deadline and the 6-month grace period, your trademark will be removed from the official register. This makes your brand vulnerable, as others can apply for similar marks and you lose your exclusive rights.
-
Which form is required to file for trademark renewal in India?
The official form used is Form TM-R, which must be submitted to the Trademark Registry either online or in physical format. This form is used to renew a trademark or to restore a lapsed one (in some cases).
-
What is the government fee for trademark renewal?
As per the Trademark Rules, the official fee for online renewal is ₹9,000 per class for individuals/startups and ₹10,000 per class for others. If filing physically, the fee is slightly higher.
-
Can I renew multiple trademarks through a single form?
No. Each trademark application is distinct, and renewal must be filed individually for each class and registration number through separate TM-R forms.
-
Is it necessary to provide proof of usage for trademark renewal?
No. Unlike trademark opposition or cancellation proceedings, Indian law does not require proof of usage during the renewal process. However, regular use strengthens your rights.
-
Can an authorized agent or third party file the renewal on my behalf?
Yes, a registered trademark agent or an authorized representative with a valid Power of Attorney can file the renewal on your behalf, making the process easier and faster.
-
What if the renewal application is objected to or rejected?
If your renewal is rejected due to errors or discrepancies, you will receive a notice from the Registry. You must respond promptly, file corrections, or submit additional documents to avoid cancellation.
-
Can an expired trademark be renewed after the grace period?
Once the 6-month grace period ends, you cannot renew the trademark. Instead, you must apply for restoration and renewal within 1 year from expiry, along with a restoration fee and a valid reason for the delay.
-
Does the renewal date start from the date of filing or expiry?
The new 10-year term is calculated from the original expiry date, not the date you filed for renewal. Delays in filing do not shift the renewal cycle.
-
Are there any late fees or penalties for delayed renewal?
Yes. A late fee of ₹5,000 per class is applicable if you apply after the expiry date but within the grace period. No penalty is levied if you renew within the initial valid timeline.
-
Can I make changes to my trademark details during renewal?
Yes, the renewal process allows for minor updates, such as changing the address of the proprietor or the agent. However, substantial changes like ownership transfer require a separate application.
-
Will the renewed trademark appear in the Trademark Journal?
Yes. After renewal is successfully processed, the details are published in the Trademarks Journal, updating the public record and confirming continued protection.
-
Who is eligible to sign Form TM-R?
The form must be signed by the trademark owner or their authorized trademark agent. If filing online, a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is mandatory.
-
What if my trademark is removed due to non-renewal?
If a trademark is removed due to non-renewal and the grace period has passed, you lose legal protection. However, you may apply for restoration within one year, subject to registrar discretion.
-
Is it possible to renew a trademark before the 6-month window?
No. The renewal process can officially begin only within six months before the expiry date. Early filing is not accepted under Indian law.
-
