Trademark Renewal: Step-by-Step Process and Requirements

  • Trademark Renewal is essential to keep your brand legally protected and active.
  • Per the Trade Marks Act, 1999, you are required to renew your mark for an additional ten-year term.
  • You may file your renewal application up to six months before your renewal date or up to six months following the expiration of your registration. If you fail to renew your mark, it will be removed from the trademark register, and third parties may potentially use or infringe your brand.
  • To renew your trademark in India, you will need to file Form TM-R, pay the renewal fee, and make appropriate updates to execute a timely renewal.
  • Renewal will provide your business with additional adverse legal protection, uninterrupted continuity of your brand rights, and enhanced credibility in the marketplace.

Introduction

What is Trademark Renewal?

Documents

Process

Conclusion

Introduction

After your trademark is registered, it is important to understand that your rights do not remain protected forever without any action. In India, for instance, a registered mark has to be renewed every ten years, per trade marks act (TM Act) provisions, to maintain exclusive rights in respect of the registered mark. 

You may apply to renew the mark, at least six (6) months prior to the end of the period of ten (10) years; or even after the ten (10) year period has ended, if it is within the grace period, upon paying a fee. 

To renew your trade mark simply means you are continuing to keep your rights in respect of that mark, and so you will keep a standing in respect of using, defending, franchising or assigning out your mark, without lapse — this is very important to sort of maintain brand equity, consumer trust and legal stand.

What is Trademark Renewal?

In India, every registered trademark is subject to renewal every ten years to maintain ownership rights and legal protection. Ideally, you should file the renewal at least six months prior to its expiry date to provide for uninterrupted protection and the renewal is completed using Form TM-R with the prescribed government fee of ₹4,000 per class.

Timely renewal of your trademark protects your mark from removal or restoration proceedings under the Trade Marks Act. If renewal is not filed within the prescribed time, your mark may be removed from the register and you will lose exclusive ownership rights. Therefore, renewal is necessary since it provides rights for another ten years and continues to protect your brand’s legal position and commercial status in the market.

Preservation of Trademark Rights

The renewal of a trademark registration maintains the rights that you once associated with the registered mark. If you do not renew, you lose these rights, along with the legal presumption of ownership. A registered trademark has strong legal protection; if there is ever a challenge, the burden of proof will be on the challenger, not on the owner of the registration. Therefore, keeping your registration in force will protect both your brand and your position in the market.

Benefits of Trademark Renewal

  1. Legal Protection

Renewing your trademark makes it easier to protect your rights in court if there is an infringement. Only marks registered and in force obtain full protection under Indian law.

  1. Establishing a Distinct Identity

Renewing your trademark provides protection of your brand identity, so consumers will still associate your products and services with your name. It also prevents competitors from registering the same or confusingly identical trademarks or slogans.

  1. Business Development Opportunities

A renewed trademark increases the value of your brand, which can open opportunities for licensing, franchising agreements, or assignment of the trademark. Many businesses monetize their trademark through royalty-based licensing agreements.

  1. Extension of Ownership Rights

A timely renewal provides the owner with extended rights in the brand name, giving longer goodwill and protection against infringement or misappropriation by third parties.

  1. Reduced Risk of a Legal Dispute

Keeping your trademark licensed reduces the possibility of a lawsuit. If the trademark is renewed on time, no one can claim rights to the registered trademark, and ownership can be maintained.

  1. Security of the Brand Name

Renewing the trademark provides continuous legal protection of your brand. Neglecting to renew can cause the owner to lose exclusive control of the mark and may cause the mark to be misappropriated or duplicated.

Required Documents for Trademark Renewal

To renew a trademark in India, the applicant must compile and present the following documents: 

  • Copy of Trademark Registration Certificate: Proof of ownership of the registered trademark. 
  • Proof of Commercial Use: Documents establishing use of the mark in trade or business. 
  • Trademark Search Report: Verifying that there are no identical or similar trademarks in the registry. 
  • Power of Attorney: Authorizing an agent or representative to file the renewal for the applicant. 
  • Applicant’s Address & ID Proof: Documents of the proprietor or company that are a valid identification and a valid identification of the address. 
  • Copy of Form TM-A: The original application form used for trademark registration. 
  • Proof of Conflict (if any): In the case of any trademark dispute, copies of any documents that relate to the conflict and any legal opinion. 
  • Renewal Application (Form TM-R): Duly filled and signed application for trademark renewal that is prepared in accordance with the prescribed condition.

Procedure for Trademark Renewal in India

The process of renewing a trademark must be done through the Registrar of Trademarks, using Form TM-R, ideally no later than six months in advance of the expiry date of the current registration. A brief overview of the renewal process is detailed here: 

  1. Preparing the Renewal Application 
  • The trademark owner or an agent of the trademark owner must file Form TM-R and pay the notarized renewal fee. 
  • If a renewal application is not filed prior to the expiry date, the trademark owner can renew the trademark between one and three months before the trademark expires without a penalty.
  1. The Registrar Provides Notice
  • The Registrar of Trademarks will send notice regarding the renewal and remind the owner of the expiration date. The expiration cannot be removed from the trademark registry based solely on the absence of this notice.
  1. Payment for Renewal 
  • The renewal fee must be paid along with the TM-R. 
  • This fee renewal protects the trademark legally for another ten (10) years. 
  1. Method of Renewal 
  • A trademark can be filed in two ways:
  • Simple Renewal: Like for like with no changes made to the details or logo.
  • Renewal with Modification: Change to the details, logo or classification, if required.

     

  1. Review and Circulation

The trademark renewal application will be reviewed and published in the Trademark Journal following its approval by the Registrar. The Trademark Journal is the official publication of the Trademark Office. At this stage, any third parties wishing to object or oppose the renewal can do so.

  1. Monitor Status

Once a renewal application is submitted, it is essential for applicants to monitor the status of the renewal application to avoid delays. The trademark renewal process is subject to strict time limits, and the applicant will not operate under the assumption that the renewal application has been granted if he or she has not received a response. Time limits arranged for the renewal process may affect the ability of the applicant to renew if he or she fails to act in a timely manner.

  1. Expiration and Recovery

The proprietor has six months following the date of expiration to renew the trademark; otherwise, the trademark will be considered expired. The proprietor may, however, apply for recovery of the trademark under Section 25(4) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. A trademark recovery application, along with the prescribed fee, may be submitted to the Registrar within one year after the date of expiration.

This simplified renewal process will ensure that your trademark retains the legal protection to avoid interruption and appropriately protects identity and goodwill in the market place.

Shortcomings of Failing to Renew a Trademark

  • Failing to renew a trademark may have serious legal and business consequences for the owner and all relevant parties. 
  • If the renewal fee is not paid or renewal application is not filed on time, however, a Registrar may remove the mark from the official register.
  •  It is important to note that before a Registrar removes the trademark the Registrar will send out a public notice in the Trademark Journal with an intent to remove the mark. 
  • Accordingly, no renewal not only impacts the owner of the trademark, it can also have consequences on licensees, assignees, and franchise partners with the reliance on the trademark protection. 
  • Once the mark is removed, all legal rights and exclusivity with respect to the mark no longer exist, and anyone may use the brand openly or replicate the brand without authorization. 
  • Moreover, the failure to renew trademark registration limits your case for a legal injunction into trademark enforcement actions, since unregistered marks are afforded limited statutory legal protection under existing law.
  •  Fortunately, the Trade Marks Act, 1999 addresses recovery. The owner of the trademark may seek to renew the trademark registration within 6 months of the expiry date by filing the requisite Form TM-10 with an additional government fee.
  •  This provides businesses, who may have inadvertently missed the statutory deadline, a remedy to reinstate ownership before removal is permanent and removed.

Step-by-Step Directions: We assess your current trademark position, identify and quantify the timing of renewal, and create and assemble all documentation needed for filing.

Expert Legal Counsel and Direction: Our experienced staff of trademark attorneys manage and execute the drafting and filing of Form TM-R.

Timely Filing: We manage every step in the renewal process, from submission to review by the Registrar, so that there is no last minute lapse.

Current Information: You receive a real-time notification until the stamp of renewal has been confirmed by the Registrar.

Assistance When Approved: Once approval is confirmed, we will forward official confirmation of the trademark renewal in place.

If you have missed your renewal deadline for filing, we are able to work with you post-renewal and advise you in preparing and filing for restoration and reactivating your brand under Section 25(4) of the Trade Marks Act.

At Diligence Certifications, we recommend consulting a qualified trademark advisor early to ensure compliance and timely renewal. Share your details with our experts, and we’ll help secure your brand’s protection and preserve its value for the next decade.
