The Trademark Renewals On-line Filing is a brand new e-service launched by the Intellectual Property Registrations Directorate in conjunction with the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (OHIM). The Directorate is continuously striving to introduce new online facilities and tools to further accommodate IP attorneys and their clients in the swiftest way possible. In fact, the Directorate had first embarked on its mission to digitalise its services by launching an online portal for the filing of trademark and design applications. The Directorate aims to continue launching additional online services in the near future.

Indeed, this project has been set up in accordance with the objectives of Digital Malta which form part of the National Digital Strategy for 2014-2020. Digital Malta's Programme of Initiatives provides for a total of 228 initiatives to further enhance Malta's digital services.
