The registration of a trademark is valid only for a period of 10 years. After which, it can be renewed from time to time. Trademark renewal preserves those rights which are only available to a registered mark. In case the proprietor fails to renew the trademark, then he shall lose all the protection that comes along with registration. For example, a registered trademark has the benefit of the legal presumption of ownership. That means that the burden of proof is on others to try and disprove your ownership.

Procedure for Trademark Renewal

The proprietor of the trademark has to file a prescribed form [TM-12], which is an application for renewal before the Registrar. This application can  be filed on or before 6 months from the date of expiration of the registration.
