Keep your trademark protected — renew on time.

A registered trademark lasts 10 years from the date of application. Renewal keeps your brand protected indefinitely — but a lapse invites cancellation and squatting. We file your renewal before the deadline.

Trademark Renewed in 1 Day^*

What is Trademark Renewal?

A registered trademark in India is valid for 10 years from the date of application (not the date of registration). Before the expiry date, the trademark owner must file Form TM-R (Application for Renewal) and pay the renewal government fee (₹10,000 per class for e-filing). The renewal extends the mark's validity for another 10 years. If the renewal is not filed before the expiry, the mark enters a 6-month grace period (with a surcharge). Failure to renew within the grace period results in removal of the mark from the Register — allowing any third party to file an identical mark. Renewal is perpetual — a trademark can be renewed indefinitely, and many iconic brand trademarks are decades old.

Why Golden Verdict For
Trademark Renewal?

Trademark renewal requires identifying the correct renewal deadline (based on the original application date), preparing Form TM-R with correct proprietor details and goods/services specification, and filing on the IP India portal with DSC. Golden Verdict tracks your trademark renewal deadlines, sends you advance reminders, prepares the renewal application, and files it with the correct government fee well before expiry. We also handle trademark renewal for marks already in the 6-month grace period (with late fee surcharge).

A decade of brand building can be lost to a missed renewal deadline. Golden Verdict never lets that happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I file a trademark renewal?+

The trademark renewal can be filed any time within 1 year before the expiry date. The Trade Marks Registry also sends a reminder notice. If missed, a 6-month surcharge-bearing grace period follows expiry. We recommend filing at least 6 months before expiry to avoid any administrative delays.

What is the government fee for trademark renewal?+

₹10,000 per class for e-filing (₹11,000 for physical filing) — same government fee as the original application. If filing in the 6-month grace period after expiry, an additional surcharge of 50% (₹5,000 per class) applies. Our professional fee of ₹1,999 is separate.

Can a trademark be renewed if it has not been used?+

Yes — a trademark can be renewed regardless of whether it is being actively used. However, a trademark that has not been used for 5 consecutive years after registration can be cancelled by a third party on grounds of non-use under Section 47 of the Trade Marks Act. Renewal does not prevent a non-use cancellation action.

What happens if a trademark lapses (not renewed in grace period)?+

If the mark lapses, it is removed from the Register. Any third party can then file an application for the same or similar mark. There is no absolute right to restore a lapsed mark — the proprietor would have to file a new application and may face opposition from third parties who applied during the lapse period.

Can I modify the goods/services specification at renewal?+

No. Renewal must be for the same specification as originally registered. If you want to add goods/services, a new trademark application must be filed for the new specification. However, you can reduce the specification at renewal (remove goods/services you no longer use).
