Trademark renewal is the process of renewing a trademark registration to keep it valid and in force. Trademark registrations are typically valid for a period of 10 years, after which they must be renewed to maintain protection.
The renewal deadline is typically 10 years from the date of registration. However, it is important to check the registration certificate and any correspondence from the trademark office to confirm the renewal deadline.
File a renewal application with the appropriate government agency, such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
The trademark office will examine the renewal application to ensure that it meets all the requirements and is eligible for renewal.
Pay the renewal fee to the trademark office.
Once the trademark is successfully renewed, the trademark owner can continue to use the trademark and enforce their rights against infringers. It is important to keep track of the renewal deadlines to ensure that the trademark remains valid and enforceable.
Trademark renewal services are offered by various law firms and intellectual property agencies. These services can assist with the renewal process and ensure that the trademark is properly renewed and remains in force.
