Importance of Trademark Renewal in India

Why Renewing Your Trademark is Crucial?

Legal Protection Without Interruption

Trademark renewal guarantees continued protection under the law, allowing you to enforce your rights and take legal action when needed.

Prevents Trademark Removal

If not renewed, your trademark may be removed from the registry, making it vulnerable to misuse or re-registration by others.

Maintains Brand Ownership

Ensures your ownership rights over the brand, preventing others from claiming it once expired.

Avoids Re-Registration Costs

Reapplying for a lapsed trademark is a lengthy and expensive process. Renewal is faster, simpler, and cost-effective.

Builds Customer Confidence

A continuously active trademark reflects a reliable and credible brand, which helps retain and attract loyal customers.

Strengthens Market Position

Renewal helps maintain a competitive edge by preventing infringement and keeping your brand distinctive.

Supports Business Expansion

A renewed trademark allows you to franchise, license, or expand your business under the same brand identity.

Boosts Business Valuation

A trademark that’s regularly renewed and protected adds to your company’s overall value and goodwill in the market.

Enables Legal Enforcement

Only a renewed trademark owner has the legal standing to sue infringers or object to similar mark filings.

Reflects Brand Responsibility

Regular renewals reflect your commitment to protecting and managing your brand with professionalism and foresight.

Helps in Brand Licensing

A renewed trademark is essential when entering licensing agreements, as it assures third parties of your continued legal ownership and brand validity.

Prevents Loss of Brand Recognition

Failure to renew could lead to brand abandonment. Timely renewal protects years of marketing effort and consumer loyalty built around your brand identity.

Renew Your Trademark Online in 6 Simple Steps

Online Procedure of Trademark Renewal

Verify Trademark Status

Start by checking the current status, registration number, and expiration date of your trademark through the IP India Trademark Search portal. This confirms whether your trademark is active, near expiry, or already expired. Doing this helps avoid unnecessary delays or rejections and ensures you're acting within the valid renewal window. This step is crucial before proceeding to avoid late fees or non-renewal issues.

Gather Required Documents

Prepare the essential documentation such as your original trademark registration certificate, valid ID and address proof of the applicant, and a Power of Attorney if a legal representative is applying on your behalf. If you're an MSME or startup, include proof to claim fee concessions. Proper documentation ensures smoother processing and avoids the risk of rejection due to incomplete submissions.

File Form TM-R

Access the IP India website and file Form TM-R, the official renewal form for trademarks. Ensure all details like trademark number, class, applicant info, and address are correctly entered. Mistakes in this form can lead to delays or rejections. Submitting the correct form through the proper channel is essential for timely renewal and confirmation of legal protection.

Pay the Renewal Fee

After filling out the form, proceed to pay the government fee — ₹9,000 per class for companies and ₹4,500 for MSMEs/startups. If you’re renewing after the official deadline but within the grace period (6 months), a late fee will be charged. Prompt payment ensures your application is processed quickly without lapses in protection. Always keep a copy of the payment receipt for records.

Registrar’s Review

The Registrar of Trademarks will thoroughly examine your renewal application and documents. If everything is in order, they proceed with acceptance. However, if there are any discrepancies or missing information, you may be asked to rectify or provide clarifications. A smooth review depends on the accuracy of your submission and supporting documents, so attention to detail is key here.

Receive Renewal Confirmation

Once approved, you will receive an official Trademark Renewal Certificate, extending your rights for another 10 years. This confirmation legally secures your brand and allows continued exclusive use of the mark. It also gets updated in the Trademark Journal for public record. Be sure to store the certificate safely and set a reminder for your next renewal cycle.
