Trademark Renewal
The demand for a trademark has been expanding over time. But you also have to renew your brand every 10 years. We will witness a more significant growth of the total trademarks in the next few years. In most cases, it is preferred for you to file the trademark renewal six months before it expires.
If you want to continue enjoying the trademark’s security, you must prepare and file the application form for renewing it before it crosses the deadline. The restoration of protection extends the trademark terms for one more decade. If one fails to renew in time, although there will still be scope for continuation, their trademark will be prone to removal.

The Process of Trademark Renewal
You can file a request for trademark renewal within six months before the expiry date of renewal or registration. The Registrar sends a reminder notice to the owner of the registered trademark. The statement is written before the termination of the last date of your trademark’s registration. It includes the conditions regarding the payment of the fees and the information on expiration. The Registrar has the authority to remove a brand from the register if one does not comply with the registration conditions prescribed in the notice.

- Form TM-12 is followed to make the application of trademark renewal.
- A registered owner can make the application for the trademark. He can also authorize an agent to make it for him.
- To be sure about the protection of the mark, you must seek assistance from an expert to file to restore a trademark. It would be best if you did so to expand the scope of securing. You could have surpassed the initial classes you had registered in under if you have ensured your brand's success for ten years.
- Signing up for a renewal application for your trademark increases its conservation by ten more years. The validity extends for another decade. You have to renew it again before it ends.

Checking the status
Your job is not done right after you file for a renewal. You have to occasionally keep an eye on the application of renewal’s status till the Registrar processes it. At times, the trademark restoration needs multiple lengthy actions or applicant responses. It is vital to continually check the situation and take the necessary measures until the registration or renewal is successful.
The Trademark Registry has an official periodical called the Trademark Journal. It is up to the Trademark Examiner to determine if an application can be accepted. The Trademark Journal advertises the admissible trademarks. Other applicants can defy the registration. However, in the case of renewal, this method is not mandatory.
The renewal is crucial based on the relevancy of the brand. Trivial bands are prone to misuse.
