Trademark Renewal FAQs

Trademark renewal is essential to maintain your legal rights to the trademark. If not renewed on time, your trademark could lapse, leaving it unprotected and open for others to claim. Regular renewal ensures continued exclusive rights and prevents any disruption in your trademark protection.

The renewal schedule varies by jurisdiction. In the United States, trademarks must be renewed every 10 years, with a maintenance filing required in the fifth year. Other countries may have different timelines, so it’s important to check the specific renewal requirements for each country where your trademark is registered.

To renew your trademark, you’ll need your trademark registration number, the current status of the mark, and any documentation that may confirm its ongoing use in commerce. Some jurisdictions may also require a specimen of the trademark in use.

Trademark laws generally require that a trademark is actively used in commerce to maintain registration. If you are no longer using the trademark, it may not be eligible for renewal. However, some jurisdictions may have provisions for trademarks not currently in use, so consulting a trademark professional is advised.

If you miss the renewal deadline, your trademark could be canceled or marked as abandoned. However, some jurisdictions allow a grace period for late renewals, often with an additional fee. Failing to renew during this period can result in the permanent loss of your trademark rights, requiring a new application if you wish to regain protection.
