Trademark Renewal in delhi

Trademark Renewal means to extend the term period of trademark registration by filing TM-12 with the prescribed fee. We renew the trademark from time to time for an unlimited period. Trade Mark renewal term is for 10 years. Trademark can be renewed in India for an unlimited period, provided renewal fees are being paid on a timely basis.

Each Trademark renewal is valid for 10 years. If a person fails to renew the trademark, the mark becomes liable to remove. Therefore, renewal from time to time is very important, especially when a portfolio of Trademarks needs to be managed. There could be serious irreparable repercussions if one fails to meet the timeline.

Therefore, Trademark renewal is the core part of Trademark Management because Trademark is a graphical presentation. The identity of the business needs to be protected from infringement. Trademark Renewal requests can be filed within six months before the expiry of registration or renewal.

Even before the expiry of the last registration of a trademark, the Registrar shall send the notice as a reminder to the registered trademark owner regarding expiration and the conditions as to the payment of fees and, if the registration has not been obtained as per the prescribed conditions, then the Registrar may remove the Trade Mark from the Trade Mark register.

But, don’t worry, Trademark renewal requests can also be filed within six months after the expiry of registration or renewal as the case may be in the prescribed manner along with late filing fees.
