Trademark renewal in India ensures continued legal protection of your registered brand. A trademark is valid for ten years from the date of filing and must be renewed to retain exclusive rights.

Renewal prevents unauthorized use of your brand and maintains its legal enforceability. If not renewed on time, the trademark may be removed from the register.

Trademark renewal is the process of extending the validity of a registered trademark after its initial ten-year period. It allows trademark owners to retain exclusive rights over their brand.

A trademark can be renewed indefinitely every ten years if the renewal application is filed correctly and on time.
