Key Takeaways: Trademarks are valid for 10 years from the date of application. Renewal is filed via Form TM-R on the IP India portal. Government fee: ₹9,000/class (e-filing, general) or ₹4,500 (individual/startup). Late renewal surcharge: ₹4,500. Restoration after removal: additional ₹9,000. IncorpX professional fee: ₹1,999/class.
Trademark renewal is the statutory process of extending a registered trademark's validity for another 10 years under Section 25 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The trademark owner files Form TM-R on the IP India e-filing portal and pays the prescribed government fee to maintain legal protection. Without renewal, the Registrar removes the mark from the Register of Trade Marks, ending all enforcement rights.
A registered trademark in India remains valid for 10 years from the date of application (not from the date of registration). This validity period applies regardless of how long the registration process took. Once the 10-year period concludes, the owner must file for renewal to continue using the ® symbol, sue for infringement, and oppose similar marks. The renewal extends protection for another 10-year cycle, and there is no upper limit on how many times you can renew. Brands like Tata and Coca-Cola have maintained trademarks for over a century through successive renewals.
The Trade Marks Rules, 2017 (Rule 57) expanded the pre-expiry renewal window from 6 months to 1 year before the expiry date. Filing within this window costs ₹9,000 per class (e-filing) for companies, LLPs, and trusts, or ₹4,500 for individuals, startups, and small enterprises. If the owner misses the expiry date, a 6-month grace period allows late renewal with a surcharge of ₹4,500 (general, e-filing). After this grace period, the trademark is removed from the register under Section 25(3), but can still be restored within 1 year of removal under Section 25(4) with additional fees. Our team of registered trademark agents and IP professionals at IncorpX has processed 3,000+ trademark renewals with a 100% success rate, including 400+ late renewals and 120+ restoration filings. Explore all intellectual property services or start a fresh trademark registration if your mark cannot be restored.

Governing Law
Trade Marks Act, 1999 (Section 25)
Regulator
Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks
There are three distinct renewal scenarios under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, each with different fee structures and processing requirements. The type that applies to your trademark depends on when you file relative to the expiry date.
Timely Renewal
Filed up to 1 year before expiry under Rule 57. Standard government fee of ₹9,000 per class (e-filing, general) applies. No surcharge. This is the recommended approach for uninterrupted brand protection.
Late Renewal (Grace Period)
Filed within 6 months after expiry. Standard fee plus ₹4,500 surcharge (e-filing, general) or ₹2,250 (individual/startup). The trademark remains legally valid during this window under Section 25(2).
Restoration After Removal
Filed within 1 year of removal from the register under Section 25(4). Requires renewal fee plus restoration fee (₹9,000 additional, general e-filing). Subject to Registrar's approval.
Warning: After 1 year from removal, the trademark cannot be restored. The owner must file a completely fresh trademark registration application (Form TM-A), which takes 18 to 24 months, costs ₹9,000+ in government fees, and risks opposition from competitors who may have registered a similar mark in the interim.
Benefits of Trademark Renewal
Renewing your trademark on time protects your brand investment and delivers concrete legal and commercial advantages. Here are 8 specific benefits backed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
Uninterrupted Legal Protection
Renewal maintains your exclusive right to use the mark under Section 28. Without it, the Registrar removes your trademark under Section 25(3), ending all enforceable rights across India.
Perpetual Brand Ownership
Unlike patents (20-year cap), trademarks can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years. Coca-Cola's Indian trademark has been renewed for over 70 years. Your brand identity is an asset worth preserving forever.
Right to Sue for Infringement
Only a registered trademark owner can file an infringement suit under Section 29 and claim damages, injunctions, and delivery-up of infringing goods. An expired mark restricts you to passing off actions, which are harder to prove.
Retain the ® Symbol
Using the ® symbol on an expired trademark is a criminal offence under Section 107 of the Trade Marks Act. Renewal ensures you legally continue displaying the symbol on all packaging, marketing, and digital assets.
Block Competitors from Your Mark
An active registration blocks identical or similar marks from being registered by third parties under Section 11. Once removed, competitors can apply for your mark. Renewal shuts this door permanently.
Protect Licensing Revenue
Trademark licensing agreements become unenforceable if the underlying registration lapses. Timely renewal protects your royalty income and keeps licensee contracts legally valid under Section 49.
Cost-Effective Protection
At ₹9,000 per class for 10 years of protection, trademark renewal costs just ₹2.46 per day. Compare that to re-registration (₹9,000 + 18 to 24 months processing + opposition risk). Renewal is the cheapest form of IP protection available.
Strengthen International Filings
An active Indian trademark registration supports Madrid Protocol international filings for global brand protection. A lapsed registration weakens your priority claims in foreign jurisdictions.
Practitioner Insight: Based on 3,000+ renewals processed since 2017, the most common cause of missed deadlines is incorrect expiry date assumptions. Many owners believe the 10-year period starts from the registration date, but it actually starts from the application filing date, which can be 12 to 24 months earlier. In our experience, 1 in 5 clients who approach us are already in the surcharge window because of this miscalculation. Verify your expiry date on the IP India public search portal to avoid surprises.
Documents Required for Trademark Renewal
Trademark renewal requires fewer documents than initial registration. Prepare these before filing Form TM-R on the IP India portal.
For All Applicants:
Trademark Registration Certificate (original or digital copy with registration number and class details)
Identity Proof of Owner (PAN Card, Aadhaar, or Passport for individuals; CoI/LLP Agreement for entities)
Power of Attorney (Form TM-48, required if filing through a registered Trademark Agent)
Digital Signature Certificate (Class 3 DSC for e-filing on the IP India portal)
For Special Cases:
DPIIT Recognition Certificate (for startups claiming 50% fee reduction under the startup category)
Form TM-18 Affidavit (if the Registrar requests a supporting declaration or statement)
Assignment/Transfer Deed (if ownership changed since last registration/renewal, file trademark transfer separately)
Name Change Certificate (if the owner's name changed, file Form TM-P before or alongside renewal)
Pro Tip: Verify Before Filing
Search your trademark on the IP India public search portal before initiating renewal. Confirm the registration number, class, owner name, and expiry date match your records exactly. Mismatched details are the most common cause of renewal rejection. IncorpX performs this verification free of charge before every filing.
Trademark Renewal Fees in 2026

Pricing Transparency: IncorpX charges a flat ₹1,999 per class for professional services. Government fees are billed at actuals with a detailed breakdown provided before payment. 18% GST applies additionally on professional fees. No hidden charges, no auto-renewals. E-filing saves ₹1,000 per form compared to physical filing at the Trademark Registry office. If your renewal is rejected due to our filing error, we re-file at no additional cost.
Step-by-Step Trademark Renewal Process
The complete trademark renewal process involves 6 steps, takes 30 to 60 days for processing (filing itself is completed in 1 to 2 working days), and costs a minimum of ₹6,499 (IncorpX fee + government fee for individual/startup, 1 class, e-filing). All steps below match the HowTo schema for this page.
Step 1: Check Trademark Expiry Date
Log in to the IP India public search portal and search your trademark registration number. Verify the expiry date to determine whether you qualify for timely renewal (up to 1 year before expiry), late renewal (within 6 months after expiry with ₹4,500 surcharge), or restoration (6 to 12 months after removal with ₹9,000 additional fee). IncorpX performs this check free of charge.
Portal: ipindia.gov.in | Time: Instant
Step 2: Gather Required Documents
Collect your trademark registration certificate, owner identity proof (PAN/Aadhaar/Passport), business registration documents (CoI or LLP Agreement for entities), and Power of Attorney (Form TM-48, if filing through IncorpX as your agent). Ensure all details match the registered trademark records exactly. DPIIT-recognised startups should keep their recognition certificate ready for the 50% fee discount.
Time: 1 Working Day
Step 3: Prepare and File Form TM-R
Fill Form TM-R with the trademark registration number, class details, owner information, and renewal period. File electronically on the IP India e-filing portal for lower fees (₹9,000/class vs ₹10,000 physical). IncorpX prepares and files Form TM-R same day upon receiving documents and payment.
Pay the prescribed government fee online through the IP India portal: ₹9,000 per class (e-filing, general) or ₹4,500 (individual/startup). Add ₹4,500 surcharge for late renewal or ₹9,000 restoration fee if applicable. Payment is made via net banking, debit/credit card at the time of filing. IncorpX handles the payment processing on your behalf.
Fee: ₹4,500 to ₹18,000 per class (depending on applicant type and renewal type)
Step 5: Track Application Status
After filing, track your renewal application status on the IP India portal using your application number. The Trademark Registry typically processes renewal applications within 30 to 60 days. IncorpX provides regular status updates and follows up with the Registry if processing exceeds the standard timeline.
Portal: ipindia.gov.in | Processing: 30 to 60 Days
Step 6: Receive Renewed Trademark Certificate
Once the Registrar approves the renewal, your trademark validity extends for another 10 years from the previous expiry date. Download the renewed certificate from the IP India portal. IncorpX delivers the digital certificate and sets up a reminder for your next renewal cycle (10 years later). You can also request a certified copy via our trademark certificate service.
Common Mistake: Filing Form TM-R with owner details that don't match the Trademark Register is the #1 cause of delays. If your company name, address, or legal status changed since the last registration/renewal, update the register before filing renewal using Form TM-P (proprietor change) or Form TM-26 (address change). Mismatched details can delay processing by 30+ days.
Understanding the critical deadlines for trademark renewal helps you avoid extra costs and protect your brand. The timeline below covers every stage from pre-expiry renewal through the final restoration window.

Deadline Reminder: Set a calendar reminder 12 months before your trademark expiry date. Under the 2017 Rules (Rule 57), you can file up to 1 year before expiry. Filing early costs the same government fee and eliminates any risk of missing the deadline. IncorpX's free reminder service tracks your trademark's expiry and alerts you automatically.
Trademark Renewal vs Patent Renewal vs Copyright Renewal
Each form of IP renewal follows different rules, timelines, and cost structures. This comparison helps you plan your overall IP protection budget and deadlines.
Failing to renew your trademark triggers a cascading series of legal and commercial consequences that directly affect your brand value and business operations.

Section 25(4)

Fresh Filing Required After 18 Months
Section 18
₹9,000 new application + 18 to 24 months processing + opposition risk
Critical Warning: Once a third party registers your lapsed trademark, recovering it requires filing a trademark opposition (₹2,500 government fee + legal costs) or a cancellation petition before the IPAB. This process takes 2 to 4 years. Timely renewal at ₹9,000 per class prevents this entirely.
Advantages of Trademark Renewal
Perpetual Protection: Unlike patents (20-year cap), trademarks can be renewed indefinitely. Your brand receives lifetime legal protection for ₹9,000 per class every 10 years.
Cost-Effective: At ₹2.46 per day for 10 years of protection, trademark renewal is the most affordable IP maintenance. Compare with patent renewal at ₹15,000+ per year.
Maintains Priority Date: Renewal preserves your original priority date. A fresh application would get a new priority date, leaving a gap where competitors could register similar marks.
Simple Process: Form TM-R is a straightforward form filed 100% online. No examination, no publication, no opposition period. Processing takes 30 to 60 days.
Protects International Filings: An active Indian registration supports Madrid Protocol international filings for global brand protection across 130+ member countries.
Safeguards Business Contracts: Licensing, franchising, and distribution agreements that reference your trademark remain legally valid only with an active registration.
Disadvantages of Trademark Renewal
Recurring Cost: Government fee of ₹9,000 per class (general, e-filing) every 10 years adds up for marks registered in multiple classes. A 5-class trademark costs ₹45,000 per renewal cycle.
Owner's Responsibility: Renewal is not automatic. The Registrar sends only one reminder 6 months before expiry. Missing the deadline results in surcharges (₹4,500) or removal from register.
No Scope Changes: Renewal extends protection only for existing goods/services and classes. Adding new categories requires a separate application (₹9,000+ per additional class).
Restoration is Discretionary: If the grace period is missed, restoration under Section 25(4) is subject to the Registrar's discretion and costs double the regular renewal fee.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trademark Renewal
Below are 40 questions sourced from real search queries, IP India guidelines, and our experience processing 3,000+ trademark renewals. Each answer includes specific fees, Section references, form numbers, and timelines to help you make informed decisions about your trademark renewal.
Trademark renewal is the legal process of extending a registered trademark's validity for another 10 years under Section 25 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The owner files Form TM-R with the prescribed government fee (₹9,000 per class for e-filing) on the IP India portal before or after the expiry date.
A registered trademark in India is valid for 10 years from the date of application (not registration date) under Section 25(1) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. After 10 years, the owner must file for renewal to maintain protection. Trademarks can be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods.
A trademark can be renewed unlimited times, each renewal extending protection for another 10 years. There is no cap on the number of renewals under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. As long as the owner files Form TM-R and pays ₹9,000 per class (e-filing) within the prescribed window, the trademark remains active indefinitely.
No, trademark renewal is not automatic in India. The trademark owner must actively file Form TM-R and pay the government fee before the expiry date. The Registrar sends a reminder notice 6 months before expiry, but the responsibility to renew lies entirely with the owner under Section 25(2).
The grace period for trademark renewal is 6 months after the expiry date. During this period, you can still renew by paying the regular government fee (₹9,000 per class) plus a surcharge of ₹4,500 (e-filing, general entities). After 6 months, the trademark is removed from the register under Section 25(3).
Form TM-R is the prescribed application form for trademark renewal under the Trade Marks Rules, 2017 (Rules 57 and 58). It is filed to renew a registered trademark for another 10 years. The form requires the trademark registration number, class details, and owner information. Government fee is ₹9,000 per class for e-filing.
The renewal extends the trademark's validity from the previous expiry date, not the filing date. For example, if your trademark expired on 15 March 2026 and you renewed on 10 January 2026, the next expiry date would be 15 March 2036, giving a full 10-year extension from the original expiry.
Trademark renewal is filed before expiry or within 6 months after expiry (with surcharge) using Form TM-R. Trademark restoration applies after the trademark has been removed from the register (6+ months post-expiry) and must be filed within 1 year of removal with additional fees of ₹9,000 under Section 25(4).
If a trademark expires and is removed from the register, all licensing agreements lose their legal enforceability because the underlying trademark right ceases to exist. Licensees cannot use the mark legally. Filing Form TM-R with ₹4,500 surcharge within the 6-month grace period prevents this disruption to your licensing arrangements.
No, there is no annual maintenance fee for trademarks in India. Unlike patents (which require annual renewal fees), trademarks only need renewal once every 10 years by filing Form TM-R. The government fee is ₹9,000 per class (e-filing). This makes trademark protection cost-effective over the long term.
Rule 57 prescribes the timeline for filing renewal applications, allowing filing up to 1 year before the expiry date (expanded from 6 months under the old 2002 Rules). Rule 58 prescribes the renewal fee structure. Both rules replaced the earlier Rules 63 and 64 of the Trade Marks Rules, 2002.
Trademark renewal is rarely rejected if the application is complete and fees are paid correctly. Rejection can occur if the trademark registration number is invalid, fees are underpaid, or the applicant is not the registered owner. Form TM-R must match the details in the trademark register exactly. Filing through a professional reduces rejection risk.
The Trademark Journal publishes notices about trademark renewals and removals. The Registrar publishes removal notices for trademarks not renewed within the 6-month grace period. Once renewed, the updated status reflects in the journal. Monitoring the journal at ipindia.gov.in helps track your renewal status and competitor trademark expirations.
Yes, search the IP India public search portal at tmrsearch.ipindia.gov.in/tmrpublicsearch/ using the trademark name, registration number, or applicant name. The search results show the registration status, expiry date, and renewal history. A status showing Removed means the trademark expired and was not renewed within the prescribed window.
File Form TM-R on the IP India e-filing portal (ipindia.gov.in) with your trademark registration number and owner details. Pay the government fee of ₹9,000 per class (e-filing) online. The Trademark Registry processes the renewal within 30 to 60 days. You can file up to 1 year before expiry under Rule 57.
Required documents include: (1) Trademark Registration Certificate, (2) Identity proof of owner (PAN/Aadhaar), (3) Power of Attorney (if filing via agent), (4) Business registration proof for entity applicants. Form TM-18 (affidavit) may be needed if the Registrar requests supporting statements. All documents should match registered details exactly.
Yes, trademark renewal can be filed 100% online through the IP India e-filing portal at ipindia.gov.in. Online filing is faster and cheaper, with government fees of ₹9,000 per class compared to ₹10,000 for physical filing. You need a registered account and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for e-filing.
Visit the IP India public search portal at tmrsearch.ipindia.gov.in/tmrpublicsearch/ and enter your trademark registration number or application number. The status page shows whether renewal is processed, pending, or removed. You can also check the Trademark Journal for official renewal notifications published by the Registrar.
File for renewal up to 1 year before the expiry date under Trade Marks Rules, 2017 (Rule 57) to avoid surcharges. The Registrar sends a reminder 6 months before expiry. Filing before expiry costs ₹9,000 per class (e-filing). Filing within 6 months after expiry incurs an additional ₹4,500 surcharge.
Yes, a trademark removed from the register can be restored within 1 year from the date of removal under Section 25(4) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. File Form TM-R with the regular renewal fee (₹9,000) plus restoration fee (₹9,000 additional) for general entities. After 1 year, restoration is not possible; a fresh application is required.
Trademark renewal processing typically takes 30 to 60 days from the date of filing Form TM-R. The filing itself can be completed in 1 to 2 working days with IncorpX. Once approved, the renewed trademark certificate is available for download on the IP India portal. Expedited processing is not available for renewals.
Minor updates like change of address can be made during renewal by noting changes in Form TM-R. However, changes to the trademark itself, owner name, or class of goods/services require separate applications (Form TM-P for proprietor change, Form TM-26 for address change). Our trademark transfer service handles ownership changes.
Yes, after successful renewal, the Trademark Registry issues a renewed trademark certificate reflecting the new validity period (10 years from previous expiry). The certificate is available for download on the IP India portal. You can also request a certified copy via our trademark certificate service for legal proceedings.
No, you cannot add new goods or services to an existing trademark registration during renewal. Form TM-R only extends protection for the same classes and goods/services already registered. To protect additional goods or services, you must file a separate new trademark application via trademark registration.
Government fee for trademark renewal (e-filing) is ₹9,000 per class for companies, LLPs, and trusts, and ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups, and small enterprises. Physical filing costs ₹10,000 and ₹5,000 respectively. Late renewal adds a surcharge of ₹4,500 (general) or ₹2,250 (individual/startup) for e-filing.
Total cost for timely trademark renewal at IncorpX starts at ₹6,499 per class (IncorpX fee ₹1,999 + government fee ₹4,500 for individual/startup, e-filing). For companies and other entities, the total is ₹10,999 (₹1,999 + ₹9,000). Late renewal adds ₹2,250 to ₹4,500 surcharge. Multi-class renewals get competitive pricing.
The late renewal surcharge for filing within 6 months after expiry is ₹4,500 (e-filing) or ₹5,000 (physical) for general entities, and ₹2,250 (e-filing) or ₹2,500 (physical) for individuals and startups. This surcharge is in addition to the regular renewal fee of ₹9,000 or ₹4,500 per class respectively.
Yes, startups recognised under DPIIT, individuals, and small enterprises pay 50% lower government fees for trademark renewal. E-filing fee is ₹4,500 per class (vs ₹9,000 for other entities). Late surcharge is ₹2,250 (vs ₹4,500). You must provide your DPIIT recognition certificate or individual identity proof when filing Form TM-R.
Yes, you can renew a trademark registered in multiple classes. However, Form TM-R must be filed separately for each class, and the government fee of ₹9,000 (e-filing) applies per class. For example, a trademark registered in 3 classes costs ₹27,000 in government fees alone. IncorpX offers multi-class renewal packages for cost efficiency.
E-filing on the IP India portal saves ₹1,000 per form compared to physical filing at the Trademark Registry office. E-filing government fee is ₹9,000 per class (general) vs ₹10,000 for physical. For individuals/startups, it is ₹4,500 vs ₹5,000. E-filing also offers faster processing and digital receipt confirmation.
IncorpX's service at ₹1,999 per class includes: document review, Form TM-R preparation, e-filing on IP India portal, government fee payment assistance, application tracking, renewed certificate delivery, and next renewal reminder service. We handle timely renewals, late renewals with surcharge, and trademark restoration. Same-day filing for urgent requests.
Trademark renewal does not legally require a trademark agent. The owner can file Form TM-R directly on the IP India portal. However, professionals reduce errors, ensure timely filing, and handle complications. With 3,000+ renewals processed, IncorpX experts file same-day and track your application through approval for ₹1,999 per class.
Trademark restoration costs the regular renewal fee plus an additional restoration fee. For general entities (e-filing): ₹9,000 renewal + ₹9,000 restoration = ₹18,000 per class. For individuals/startups: ₹4,500 + ₹4,500 = ₹9,000 per class. Restoration must be filed within 1 year of removal from the register under Section 25(4).
Yes, trademark owners residing outside India can renew their Indian trademarks. They must file through a registered Trademark Agent in India (mandatory for non-residents under Section 145). The agent files Form TM-R with Power of Attorney on behalf of the foreign owner. IncorpX handles renewals for NRI and foreign trademark owners remotely.
Trademark renewal (Form TM-R, ₹9,000/class) extends an existing registration for 10 years with the same registration number and priority date. Re-registration means filing a fresh trademark application (₹9,000, Form TM-A) if the old mark was removed and the restoration window (1 year) has passed. Re-registration assigns a new registration number and fresh priority date.
Trademark renewal is done once every 10 years (₹9,000/class, Form TM-R) and can continue indefinitely. Patent renewal requires annual fee payment starting from the 3rd year, with fees increasing each year (₹1,600 to ₹80,000), and patent protection expires after a maximum of 20 years with no further renewal option.
Renew if your trademark is within 6 months of expiry or in the grace period, as renewal preserves your original priority date and registration number. Renewal costs ₹9,000 per class (e-filing). File fresh only if restoration is impossible (1+ year since removal). Fresh filing takes 18 to 24 months and risks opposition from third parties.
If your trademark is removed from the register and a third party files an identical or similar mark, the Registrar may accept their application. Your only remedies are: (1) file restoration under Section 25(4) within 1 year of removal, (2) oppose the third party's mark under Section 21, or (3) prove prior use and file a trademark opposition.
Renewal applies only to registered trademarks. If your trademark application is still pending or under opposition, it has not been registered yet, so renewal does not apply. For pending applications, see our trademark objection and trademark opposition handling services.
Share your trademark registration number with us, and we verify status and expiry from Registry records. After payment of ₹1,999 service fee plus government fee, we file Form TM-R same day on the IP India portal. You receive filing confirmation instantly and the renewed certificate within 30 to 60 days. Call +91 73000 27000 to begin.
