Trademark Renewal in India – Keep Your Brand Protected with Bharat e-Filing
In today’s fast-paced and competitive business environment, your trademark is more than just a symbol — it’s the foundation of your brand’s identity. Once you have successfully registered your trademark, it’s crucial not to overlook its validity over time. Trademark renewal is the key to ensuring your brand’s legal protection and preserving its exclusive rights in the marketplace. At Bharat e-Filing, we help you stay ahead by managing your trademark renewal process with precision and care, so your brand remains safeguarded without interruption.
What is a Trademark?
A trademark can be a name, logo, symbol, phrase, design, or a combination that distinguishes your goods or services from others. It builds trust among consumers, strengthens brand recognition, and becomes a valuable asset for any growing business.
Importance and Benefits of Trademark Renewal
Your trademark is a powerful asset that sets your brand apart. In India, trademarks are initially registered for 10 years, and to continue enjoying exclusive rights, it is essential to renew your trademark at the end of every 10-year cycle. At Bharat e-Filing, we ensure your brand stays protected without any hassle!
Why Trademark Renewal is Important:
Continued Exclusive Rights
Renewal keeps your ownership intact, allowing you to retain full control over your trademark.
Uninterrupted Brand Protection
It ensures your brand stays legally protected and no one else can claim your trademark.
Avoiding Legal Complications
Missing renewal deadlines can lead to disputes, financial losses, and possible loss of rights — renewal helps you stay secure.
Preserving Brand Value
Your brand’s reputation and goodwill are preserved, boosting its value in the market.
Benefits of Renewing Your Trademark:
1.Strong Legal Protection
Renewal gives you solid legal backing, making it easier to enforce your rights against any unauthorized usage.
2.Foundation to Claim Damages
If anyone misuses your trademark, a renewed trademark strengthens your position to seek damages legally.
3. Ability to Transfer Rights
A renewed trademark can be transferred or sold to another party, making it a valuable asset for business deals.
4.Opportunity to License the Trademark
You can license your trademark to others, generating steady revenue and expanding your brand reach.
5.Retain Exclusive Ownership
Renewal ensures your brand’s prestige, unique identity, and exclusivity remain un touched.
At Bharat e-Filing, we manage the entire trademark renewal process for you — from document preparation to final approval — ensuring your brand stays protected year after year
Legal Provision for Trademark Renewal – Section 25 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999
As per Section 25 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, registered trademarks can be renewed for another 10 years from the date of expiry. To renew, the trademark owner must file a formal application with the Registrar of Trademarks before the expiration date along with the prescribed renewal fees.
- Important points:
- Renewal application must be filed before the expiry date or within the six-month grace period post expiry.
- If not renewed, the Registrar can remove the trademark from the register after issuing a notice.
- Reinstatement is possible within one year from expiry, by paying a surcharge and complying with prescribed conditions
Consequences of Non-Renewal
If you miss renewing your trademark:
- The Registrar will publish a notice in the Trademark Journal about the potential removal.
- After the grace period, the trademark can be struck off from the registry.
- To restore it, you must apply for reinstatement within 12 months and pay the necessary penalties.

Trademark Renewal Methods and Deadlines
At Bharat e-Filing, we ensure your trademark continues to enjoy full legal protection without interruption. Here’s what you should know about the methods, deadlines, and options available for trademark renewal and restoration in India:
Methods of Trademark Renewal
Renewal with Modification
This method allows you to make updates to your existing trademark during the renewal process. You can alter or add certain words, signs, or elements while retaining the original registration rights.
Renewal without Modification
If you wish to maintain your trademark exactly as it is, you can apply for renewal without making any changes to the design, logo, or text. This ensures continuity of your existing brand identity.
Restoration of a Lapsed Trademark
If your trademark registration has expired after completing its 10-year term, all is not lost.
You can still apply for restoration, a process similar to renewal but involving an additional penalty for delay. Restoration allows you to revive the trademark rights and continue enjoying exclusive ownership, provided you act within the permitted timelines.
Trademark Renewal Filing Timeline
Before Expiry:
The renewal application can be filed up to one year before the trademark’s expiry date.
Six Months Grace Period:
Trademark holders must ideally submit the renewal at least six months before the expiration date. However, even if missed, renewal is still possible within six months after expiry — but with an added government surcharge.
After Six Months:
Failure to renew within this extended period results in the removal of the trademark from the Register.
In such a case, a separate restoration application must be filed within six months of cancellation to revive your rights.

We prepare and file Form TM-R with the appropriate Trademark Registry, including details like:
1.Existing trademark registration number
2.Current status of the mark
3.Applicant’s updated contact information
Step 2: Examination by the Registrar
The Registry examines the application to ensure eligibility for renewal.
If any discrepancies are identified, they are communicated, and a response must be submitted within the stipulated period.

If any objections arise, Bharat e-Filing promptly assists in drafting replies and representing you during hearings if necessary.

After the successful opposition-free period or resolution of disputes, the Registrar issues the
Trademark Renewal Certificate, securing protection for another 10 years.
