Trademark Renewal
Renewing a Trademark is just as important as registering it. A trademark secures your brand identity, and renewing it ensures that your legal protection continues without interruption. In India, a trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of registration, and it must be renewed on time to avoid cancellation or penalties.
Why Trademark Renewal Matters
- Continued Legal Protection – Keeps your rights intact against misuse or infringement.
- Brand Value Preservation – Maintains the goodwill and reputation of your business.
- Avoids Cancellation – Failure to renew can lead to removal from the Trademark Register.
- Global Recognition – Renewal keeps your brand safe for international recognition.
- Unlimited Validity – Can be renewed every 10 years, ensuring perpetual protection.
