Frequently asked questions
How often do I need to renew a trademark in India?
Every ten years. The ten years run from the application date, and renewals can continue indefinitely.
When can I file the renewal?
In the final year before the registration expires.
What if I miss the renewal date?
A late renewal with a surcharge, and later restoration, may be possible for a limited time. Contact us immediately with the registration number.
Do I need to use the mark to renew it?
Renewal is a filing, but non-use for a long continuous period can expose the mark to removal by others, so keep using it.
When can I renew my trademark in India?
Within one year before the registration expires. A registration lasts ten years from the date of application and can be renewed every ten years.
What if I miss the renewal date?
You can still renew within six months after expiry by paying a surcharge. After that the mark can be removed from the register, and restoration is possible only in limited cases.
Is the renewal fee charged per class?
Yes. The government renewal fee is charged for each class you renew; your quotation shows it before filing.
Can I update my logo when I renew?
No. Renewal keeps the same mark. A changed logo needs a new application.
