Trademark Renewal
Keep your trademark protection alive — renew before expiry, or restore it if you've recently missed the deadline. We track your due dates, file Form TM-R and keep your registration active for another 10 years.
Starting at ₹4,999**Professional fee only — the government renewal fee (higher if filed after expiry, within the restoration window) is additional and quoted upfront before you proceed.
What Is Trademark Renewal?
A trademark registration in India is valid for 10 years from the date of application, and must be renewed every 10 years to keep it active indefinitely. Renewal is a straightforward filing — Form TM-R — done with the Trade Marks Registry, and can be filed up to a year in advance of expiry. If the deadline is missed, the mark isn't necessarily lost immediately: a grace period allows late renewal with a surcharge, and even after removal from the register, restoration is often still possible within a further window, though at higher cost and risk. Renewal and restoration are governed by Section 25 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
Who Should Renew Their Trademark?
Owners approaching their 10-year mark — businesses whose trademark registration is nearing its expiry date and want to renew in advance.
Owners who've recently missed the deadline — marks still within the grace period or restoration window after expiry.
Businesses with a portfolio of marks — companies managing multiple registered trademarks across classes who need centralised renewal tracking.
Owners who've changed address or ownership — a good time to update registered details alongside the renewal filing.

Renewal Filing
Form TM-R is filed with the Trade Marks Registry.
Renewed Certificate
You receive confirmation of renewal for the next 10 years.
Estimated Processing Time
Renewal filing itself takes only a few days to prepare and submit once documents are ready. The Registry typically updates its records and issues confirmation within a few weeks to a couple of months after filing. We recommend starting the process at least 2-3 months before your renewal due date to avoid any last-minute surcharges.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Missing the renewal deadline and letting a valuable mark lapse after 10 years.
Not updating the registered proprietor's name or address before submitting the renewal.
Losing track of multiple trademarks with different renewal dates across a growing portfolio.
Waiting past the restoration window, after which a lapsed mark generally cannot be recovered.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I renew my trademark?
Renewal can be filed up to a year before expiry, and within a grace period after expiry (with a surcharge), though it's best to file well before the due date to avoid any risk of losing protection.
What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?
Your mark may be removed from the register, but restoration is generally possible within a specified period after removal by filing Form TM-R with an additional surcharge and a request for restoration.
Can I renew multiple trademarks together?
Yes, renewal filings for an entire trademark portfolio can be managed and tracked together, so no mark is missed.
How long does a trademark renewal last?
Each renewal extends the registration for a further 10 years from the date of expiry, and this can be repeated indefinitely.
Can I update my address or ownership details while renewing?
Yes, changes to the registered proprietor's address or ownership details can typically be updated as part of the renewal filing.
What is the difference between renewal and restoration?
Renewal is filed before or shortly after expiry to continue an active registration; restoration is a separate process to bring back a mark that has already been removed from the register after the grace period lapsed.
How long does the renewal process take?
Renewal filing itself takes only a few days to prepare and file; the Registry typically updates the record and issues confirmation within a few weeks to a couple of months.

Every 10 years from the date of registration, for as long as the owner wants to keep the mark protected.
