SOFTRE Blog-How To Renew Trademarks In India A Guide For Brand Protection

In India, renewal a trademark is a vital phase in preserving the legal rights and distinctiveness of brand identities. Here’s a summary of the actions needed:

 

Step 1: Filing the Renewal Application

Fill out Form TM-R and send it to the Trademark Registry together with the applicant’s contact data, registration number, and current status.

Step 2: Verification and Examination

The Registry reviews the application to make sure it complies with renewal standards and looks for disputes. All concerns have to be answered in the allotted time.

Step 3: Publication in Trademark Journal

Details of the renewal are made public for four months to accommodate protest from outside parties. Should objection be raised, the petitioner must address it appropriately.

Step 4: Issuance of Renewal Certificate

The Trademark Renewal Certificate is issued by the Registry and is valid for ten years following the successful publication and settlement of opposition.

Deadline for Renewal

Applications for renewal may be submitted, subject to additional fees, up to six months prior to expiration or within six months following. If you don’t renew within this window of time, your account will be cancelled.

Cost of Renewal

The cost of renewals varies according to the filing method and time; late renewals or restorations incur extra fees.

Consequences of Non-Renewal

A one-year period following expiration allows for restoration for an extra cost; failure to renew during the grace period results in cancellation.

Benefits of Renewal

The maintenance of brand identification, possible licencing income, and legal protection are all ensured by trademark renewal.

Conclusion

To summarise, the maintenance of legal protection and uniqueness of brands in India requires trademark renewal. These privileges are protected by timely renewal, but if it is neglected, one may become vulnerable to rights violations and loss. To succeed in the market, brand owners must comprehend and follow the renewal process.
