As we all know, trademark registration is the way to protect your brand name legally. It means every entrepreneur can register its brand name (though it is not compulsory to do so) which includes logo, word, photograph, Colour, Shape of Goods, Sound Mark and Three Dimension Mark to distinguish its goods or services from others and to create a brand value of business. Once your brand (trademark) is registered, it shall be valid for 10 years from the date mentioned in the Registration certificate issued by the Registrar afterwards it needs renewal so as to prevent the use of same brand by any other entrepreneur. An application for trademark renewal must be filed before the expiry of due date.

Trademark department also gives intimation to applicant to renew the trademark registration before its expiry. Failure to renew the registration before its expiry may allow others to use the same brand name. Also, once you failed to renew your brand name registration within requisite time then you have to follow the long process as in case of filing fresh trademark application which will take around 6 to 18 months to re-register your brand. Hence, it is suggested to renew your brand timely to avoid inconvenience.
