Trademark Renewal

Overview

Don't let a decade of brand equity lapse over paperwork

A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of filing and must be renewed before it expires to keep protection continuous. Miss the deadline and your mark can be removed from the register, opening the door for someone else to claim it. Renewal is straightforward — but the deadline is not flexible.

Uninterrupted protection

Renewing on time means your exclusive rights never lapse, and there's no gap for a competitor to exploit.

Handles the restoration window too

Deadline tracking, done for you

We track your renewal date in advance so you're never caught off guard by an expiring mark.

Questions

Frequently asked

01When exactly does my trademark need to be renewed?

Every 10 years from your original filing date — not the registration date. We recommend starting the renewal process at least 6 months before expiry.

02What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?

The Registry allows a grace period after expiry during which you can still renew, usually with a surcharge. After that window closes, the mark can be removed from the register and become available for anyone else to apply for.

03Can I renew a trademark I'm no longer using in the exact same form?

Yes, as long as the core mark hasn't changed substantially. If your branding has evolved significantly, it may be worth filing a fresh application alongside the renewal.

04Is renewal the same process as the original registration?

No — renewal doesn't require a fresh examination or class search. It's a simpler filing confirming you want to continue the existing registration for another 10 years.

05Why book a consultation instead of filing this myself?

The restoration window after a missed deadline has its own strict rules and surcharges that are easy to get wrong, and tracking renewal dates across multiple marks or classes is where most businesses slip up. We keep the dates on our calendar, not yours.
