Trademark Renewal
A trademark is any one-of-a-kind expression that differentiates a product or service from others. This expression could take the form of a word, a slogan, a photograph, a logo, a graphic, a colour scheme, a sound, or even a fragrance.
A registered trademark is valid for ten years. After then, it must be renewed. You do not need to be concerned if you neglect to renew your trademark because you will be notified in advance at your registered office. Companies frequently forget to renew their trademarks. As a result, 6 months before the expiration date, the Registrar informs them of the same. If you do not take action, the Registrar will issue a notification stating that your trademark will be removed from the Trade Marks Journal. It’s a lengthy procedure that takes at least 6-12 months after the expiration date. So, before that, you can just pay the fine to the government to renew it.
