A registered trademark lasts ten years, and an expired one is an open invitation to competitors. Renewal is simple when done on time; after expiry it becomes costlier and, past the restoration window, the mark can be lost entirely.
Krishna TaxNova renews trademarks before deadlines, handles late renewals with surcharge and files restoration for marks already removed. We also maintain a renewal calendar so your brand never lapses again.
What is Trademark Renewal?
Trademark renewal is filed in form TM-R, ideally within one year before expiry. After expiry, renewal with surcharge is possible for six months. Beyond that, a removed mark can be restored within one year of expiry through a restoration application with renewal fees. Each renewal extends protection for ten years.
Who Should Apply for Trademark Renewal?
- Owners of trademarks approaching the 10 year mark
- Businesses that discovered a lapsed registration
- Companies holding portfolios of marks across classes
- Assignees who acquired marks and need to maintain them
