Renew Your Trademark. Keep Your Registration Active.
A registered trademark in India is valid for 10 years and can be renewed for successive periods of 10 years. GujaratCorp helps trademark owners verify renewal status, prepare Form TM-R, and assist with the applicable filing process before the Trade Marks Registry.
Understanding Your Trademark Renewal Timeline
01 — RENEWAL BEFORE EXPIRY
When: Within 1 year before the expiry of the current registration.
Action: File the prescribed Form TM-R renewal application.
02 — RENEWAL AFTER EXPIRY
When: Within 6 months after the expiry of the registration.
Action: Renewal may be sought through Form TM-R with the prescribed renewal fee and surcharge.
03 — RESTORATION & RENEWAL
When: After 6 months and within 1 year from expiry, where the trademark has been removed for non-payment of renewal fees.
Action: An application for restoration and renewal may be made in Form TM-R, subject to the applicable statutory requirements and the Registrar's consideration.
If the one-year period from expiry has passed, the statutory restoration route under Section 25(4) / Rule 60 is no longer available. A fresh trademark application may then need to be considered.
