Online Procedure of Trademark Renewal
Verify Trademark Status
Start by checking the current status and expiration date of your trademark using the IP India Trademark Search. This confirms if your trademark is eligible for renewal. Verifying this ensures you're not applying too early or too late, and avoids unnecessary delays, late fees, or rejection. Always confirm your registration number and trademark class before moving to the next step.
Gather Required Documents
Prepare essential documents including your trademark registration certificate, the applicant’s ID and address proof, and Power of Attorney if applying via an agent. Startups or MSMEs should also attach proof of eligibility for reduced fees. Ensuring all documents are valid and up-to-date helps avoid delays or objections during the review process by the Trademark Office.
File Form TM-R
Log in to the IP India official portal and complete Form TM-R, which is the official application for trademark renewal. Make sure to enter your trademark number, class, and applicant details carefully. Any errors may lead to delays or rejection. Filing this form online ensures fast submission and begins the formal renewal process for your registered trademark.
Pay the Renewal Fee
After form submission, pay the applicable government fee: ₹9,000 for companies and ₹4,500 for MSMEs/startups. If you’re renewing after the due date but within the 6-month grace period, a late fee is applicable. Make sure to download the receipt and keep it for your records, as proof of payment is often required during verification or audit.
Registrar’s Review
Once your application and payment are submitted, the Registrar of Trademarks will review everything. If all is in order, the application is accepted. In case of any missing or incorrect details, you’ll receive a communication to provide clarification or corrections. Proper documentation and accurate entry ensure a smooth approval process during this stage.
Receive Renewal Certificate
Once approved, you will receive your Trademark Renewal Certificate, valid for another 10 years. This official confirmation secures your legal rights. The trademark status is updated in the public registry and published in the Trademark Journal. Always save this certificate and set reminders for future renewals to avoid last-minute compliance issues.
