Trademark Registration Renewal
A trademark protects your business's logo, brand, and image against infringement — but it's valid for only ten years. Renewal preserves your trademark rights and all the protection that comes with registration.

Renewal Options
Once you receive a renewal notification, you have two options: renew the mark as it is, or incorporate changes and renew. Renewal can be done by the registered owner, an authorised representative, or an agent, either online or physically — online renewal costs ₹9,000, physical filing costs ₹10,000. A "trademark opposition" can still be filed after renewal, so it's important to track renewal status. Once renewed without opposition, the trademark is protected for another 10 years.
Restoration of Trademark
If you fail to renew within the 10-year tenure, restoration is still possible within one year of expiry — bringing the trademark back to its former registered state. Restoration involves an additional fee on top of the renewal fee.
