Trademark renewal online in India means filing a renewal application (Form TM-R) with the Trade Marks Registry before your registration expires, so the mark stays on the register for another 10 years under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Without renewal, the mark can be removed from the register and you lose the benefits of registration.
Last updated: October 2026. Fees, forms and time limits can change, so we confirm the current position before filing.
A registered trademark is protected for 10 years. To keep that protection going, the proprietor must apply for renewal before the term ends. Renewal does not involve fresh examination of the mark; it is a procedural filing that extends the registration for another 10 years, and it can be repeated every 10 years for as long as you use the brand.
Renewal is filed online with the Trade Marks Registry and is charged per class. If the term has already ended, the mark can still be renewed within a grace period by paying a surcharge. If even that window is missed and the mark is removed from the register, restoration may be possible within a limited time, but it costs more and carries risk.
The register must also show correct details. If the owner, name or address has changed, or the mark has been assigned, these records should be updated so the renewal goes through smoothly. For official forms, fee schedules and the public status search, visit the Intellectual Property India website at ipindia.gov.in, the official portal of the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks, Government of India. If you are yet to register, see our trademark registration online service.

Quick answers on trademark renewal in India.
Trademark renewal extends the registration of your mark for another 10 years under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. It is filed with the Trade Marks Registry before the current registration expires.
Check the expiry date, confirm that the proprietor details on the register are current, file the renewal application (Form TM-R) online with the prescribed fee for each class, and keep the filing receipt. The Registry then updates the register.
A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of application. Each renewal extends it by another 10 years from the date of expiry of the previous term.
Renewal can be filed in advance of expiry, up to one year before under the current rules. We recommend filing at least a few months early so there is time to fix any record issues.
Yes, within a grace period after expiry, by paying the renewal fee along with a surcharge. If the renewal is not filed in time, the mark can be removed from the register, and restoration may then be needed.
