Trademark Renewal in India – Complete Guide by Next Filings
A trademark is one of your business’s most valuable assets. To maintain exclusive ownership and uninterrupted legal protection, it is essential to renew your trademark before its validity expires.
At Next Filings, we provide end-to-end Trademark Renewal services, helping businesses renew their trademarks on time and continue enjoying legal protection for another 10 years without interruption.
What is a Trademark?
A trademark is a unique word, logo, symbol, slogan, design, or combination thereof that distinguishes your goods or services from those of others.
A registered trademark helps customers identify your brand and protects your business identity from unauthorized use.
What is Trademark Renewal?
Trademark Renewal is the process of extending the validity of a registered trademark after its initial registration period expires.
Under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, a registered trademark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely for additional periods of 10 years each.
Timely renewal ensures continuous legal protection and prevents removal from the Trademark Register.

According to Section 25 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999:
- A trademark can be renewed every 10 years.
- Renewal application must be filed within the prescribed period.
- Upon payment of the prescribed renewal fee, the trademark remains protected for another decade.
- Failure to renew may result in removal of the trademark from the register.
