Trademark Renewal
Keep Your Brand Protected Without Interruption by renewing your trademark every 10 years.
Keep Your Brand Protected
Your trademark is one of your most valuable business assets. To ensure uninterrupted protection, it must be renewed every 10 years under the Trade Marks Act.
Missing the renewal deadline can lead to the removal of your trademark from the register, exposing your brand to misuse, hijacking by competitors, and severe legal risks.
Why Trademark Renewal is Important?
Maintaining an active trademark registration secures your exclusive rights and prevents your brand equity from dissolving over time.

Continuous Legal Protection
Ensures that you maintain continuous legal protection of your brand against infringers and unauthorized users in the market.
Prevents Loss of Ownership
Prevents the total loss of ownership rights, keeping your mark securely on the active Trademark Register.
Avoids Legal Disputes
An active trademark makes it much easier to avoid and swiftly resolve legal disputes and brand misuse.
Maintains Brand Value
Maintains your brand value, consumer trust, and goodwill, which are essential for licensing, franchising, or selling your business.
Trademark Renewal vs Restoration
It is always advisable to renew your trademark on time. If you miss the deadline and grace periods, the mark is removed, and you must apply for Restoration, which is riskier and more expensive.
| Aspect | Renewal (On-Time) | Restoration (Late) |
|---|---|---|
| Timing | Before or shortly after expiry | After removal from the register |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Process | Simple | Complex |
| Risk to Brand | Minimal | High (Loss of rights possible) |
When to Renew a Trademark?
The 10-Year Rule

Filing Timeline
The renewal application should ideally be filed before the exact date of expiry to avoid any gaps in legal protection.
