Trademark Renewal Online in India

Q: What is the grace period for trademark renewal in India?

The grace period for trademark renewal in India is six months immediately after the original expiry date. During this time, you can still file your trademark renewal application by paying an additional surcharge.

Q: What happens if I fail to renew my trademark?

If you fail to renew your trademark, it will lose its legal protection, making it vulnerable to use by others. If not renewed even during the grace period, it will be removed from the Trademark Register.

Q: Can I renew my trademark after it has expired?

Yes, you can renew your trademark even after it has expired. You have a grace period of six months immediately following the expiry. If you miss this, you can apply for restoration within one year of its removal from the register, which involves higher fees and a more complex process.

Q: What is the government fee for trademark renewal?

The government fee for trademark renewal online (Form TM-R) is Rs. 9,000. For offline filing, it is Rs. 10,000. These trademark renewal fees increase if you renew during the grace period or seek restoration.

Q: Is it possible to change my trademark during the renewal process?

Yes, it is possible to make certain minor changes to your trademark during the trademark renewal process, such as alterations to the proprietor's name or address. However, significant changes to the visual representation of the mark itself might require a separate application for a new trademark registration.

Q: What is the difference between trademark renewal and trademark restoration?

Trademark renewal is the process of extending the validity of your trademark before or during the six-month grace period after its expiry. Trademark restoration is the process of reinstating a trademark that has already been removed from the Trademark Register due to non-renewal. Restoration is generally a more complex and expensive process.

Q: How long does the trademark renewal process take?

A straightforward trademark renewal online can typically be processed and approved within 2 to 6 months, assuming all documents are in order and no objections are raised. You can track your trademark renewal status online.

Q: Can I use the ® symbol while my trademark renewal is in process?

Yes, you can continue to use the ® symbol (registered trademark symbol) as long as your trademark was previously registered and you have filed a timely trademark renewal application. The registration status remains active pending renewal.

Q: Do I need to submit proof of trademark use for renewal?

Generally, under Indian law, it is not explicitly mandatory to submit proof of trademark use for a standard trademark renewal application. However, if there are any objections or specific queries from the Registrar, proof of use might be requested to demonstrate the continuous use of the mark.
