OVERVIEW

What is Trademark Renewal?

In India, a registered trademark is valid for 10 years but can be renewed indefinitely. To maintain its active status, a trademark renewal application must be filed—either online or offline—along with the required renewal fee every 10 years. This application should be submitted on or before 6 months prior to the expiry date. Trademark renewal ensures your brand remains protected permanently, with no limit on how many times it can be renewed.

BENEFITS

Benefits of Trademark Renewal in India

Protection from Frivolous Litigation

Trademark renewal ensures continuous protection and minimizes the risk of legal disputes. By renewing on time, only the rightful owner retains exclusive rights, preventing others from making any claims over the mark.

Extension of Ownership Rights

Renewing a trademark extends exclusive rights over the brand name for another 10 years, offering continued protection against infringement.
This helps safeguard the brand and the goodwill it has built, ensuring long-term legal security.

Brand Name Security

Trademark renewal ensures uninterrupted and continuous protection of your brand name. Failure to renew can result in the loss of legal rights and protection over the trademark.

Monetary Returns

The trademark owner holds exclusive rights to assign or license the mark to others in exchange for monetary compensation, making it a valuable asset that can also generate profit.
