What IsTrademark Renewal?
After a trademark is registered, its validity lasts for 10 years from the date of registration under the Trademark Act, 1999. Trademark Renewal refers to the legal process of fortifying your mark’s protection by applying to extend its validity for another 10 years. Failing to renew in a timely manner may result in deletion or cancellation of your rights over the mark.
Renewal is not automatic — it requires filing the prescribed form and fee within the renewal window (before expiry or within grace period) and maintaining usage of the mark. Renewal ensures the owner continues enjoying exclusive rights, preventing others from filing identical or similar marks. Avibha Legal helps maintain your brand registration seamlessly by filing timely renewals, handling objections, and ensuring compliance for perpetual protection.
