    You should file the renewal within six months before the ten-year expiry. However, you can still renew within one year after expiry by paying the prescribed late fee.

    What is the Trademark Renewal process in India?

    Renewal can be filed online or offline, usually through a registered trademark attorney. The process includes paying the renewal and any late fees. Before expiry, the Registry will send a notice. If missed, the mark is removed but can be renewed within the one-year extension.

    Is the trademark valid outside India?

    No. Trademarks are territorial and valid only in the country of registration. You must file separately in each country, either directly or via mechanisms like WIPO or EU‑wide systems.

    Failure to renew leads to the mark being removed from the register, allowing others to claim it. Any associated licenses will also become void.
