Trademark Renewal

Trademark Renewal in India is required every 10 years to maintain exclusive rights over your brand name, logo, or slogan. Renewal can be filed up to six months before expiry, within six months after expiry with late fees, or restored within 12 months after expiry. Timely renewal ensures uninterrupted protection, prevents abandonment, and safeguards your brand identity from infringement.

Documents Required

  • Copy of the Registration Certificate.
  • Power of Attorney (if filed through consultant/attorney).
  • ID & Address proof of the trademark owner.
  • Trademark application number.
  • Proof of usage (if required for restoration).

Trademark Hearing Process

  • Notice of Hearing

    The Registrar issues a hearing notice, usually through email and by publishing it on the Trademark Registry website, specifying the date and venue.
  • Preparation of Case

    Our experts review the case, analyze objections/opposition grounds, prepare legal arguments, and compile necessary evidence such as invoices, advertisements, and usage records.
  • Representation at Hearing

    On the scheduled date, our trademark attorney or consultant appears before the Registrar (physically or virtually) and presents arguments defending the mark.
  • Submission of Additional Evidence (if required)

    In some cases, the Registrar may direct submission of further documents or affidavits within a specified time.
  • Final Order

    Based on the arguments and evidence, the Registrar either accepts the application for publication/registration or refuses it.
