Trademark Renewal

Renew Your Trademark Every 10 Years and Keep Your Rights Active

A registered trademark is valid for ten years from the date of application and can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten years each. Renewal should be filed before the expiry date; if it is missed, there is usually a grace period during which renewal is still possible with a surcharge, after which the mark can be removed from the register. Timely renewal keeps your exclusive rights, your brand protection, and the value of your mark intact.

We track renewal due dates and file renewals so your protection never lapses, and we assist with restoration if a mark has been removed. Renewal protects the registration you secured through trademark registration and keeps your registration certificate meaningful. An active registration is also important if you ever plan a trademark transfer. For the full picture, see our trademark overview.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often must a trademark be renewed?

A registered trademark must be renewed every ten years. Each renewal extends the registration for a further ten-year period, and there is no limit on the number of times a mark can be renewed.

When should I file for trademark renewal?

Renewal should be filed before the expiry of the current ten-year term. It is advisable to renew well in advance, as filing can usually be done within a window before the due date to avoid any lapse.

What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?

If the deadline is missed, renewal is generally still possible during a grace period with payment of a surcharge. If it is not renewed even then, the trademark can be removed from the register.

Can a removed trademark be restored?

Yes. A trademark removed for non-renewal can often be restored by filing an application for restoration and renewal within the period and on the conditions prescribed under the rules.

Is there a limit on how many times a trademark can be renewed?

No. A trademark can be renewed any number of times, each for a further ten-year period, so a well-maintained mark can remain protected indefinitely through timely renewals.
