Renew Your Trademark Before It Lapses — Form TM-R
A trademark registration lasts 10 years and must be actively renewed — it does not renew itself. We track your renewal date and file Form TM-R in good time, or handle restoration if the deadline has already passed.
How it works
Renewal Reminder
We track your registration's expiry date and flag it well in advance — renewal can be filed up to one year before expiry, and most owners file 3–6 months ahead to avoid any last-minute rush.
Form TM-R Filed
We file Form TM-R online through the IP India e-filing portal, digitally signed, along with the prescribed renewal fee.
If Already Expired — Grace Period
Under Rule 57(2), a lapsed mark can still be renewed within 6 months after the expiry date by paying a surcharge alongside the renewal fee — your protection continues without a formal restoration process.
If Beyond 6 Months — Restoration
Between 6 and 12 months after expiry, the mark can no longer be renewed automatically — it must instead be restored under Rule 60, which requires filing Form TM-R with the restoration fee and a valid explanation for the delay, and is subject to the Registrar's discretion rather than being automatic.
Trademark Renewal Documents
Checklist- Existing trademark registration certificate / registration number
- PAN and ID proof of the registered proprietor
- Power of Attorney (Form TM-48), if not already on file

Trademark Renewal ↗Frequently asked questions
Renewal can be filed up to one year before the expiry date. Filing 3–6 months ahead is generally recommended so there's no risk of the Registry's processing time pushing you past the deadline.
You get a 6-month grace period after expiry (Rule 57(2)) to renew by paying a late-renewal surcharge along with the fee — this is treated as a normal renewal, not a separate restoration process.
Between 6 months and 1 year after expiry, the mark can only be restored, not simply renewed — this is a discretionary process under Rule 60 requiring Form TM-R, the restoration fee, and a satisfactory explanation for the delay. Beyond 1 year, the mark is generally removed from the register and a fresh application is the only option, effectively losing your original priority date.
The standard e-filing renewal fee is ₹9,000 per class; a late-renewal surcharge within the 6-month grace period, and a separate restoration fee if filing under Rule 60, apply on top of that depending on how late the filing is.
No — renewal simply extends an already-registered mark for another 10 years; it does not go through fresh examination, publication, or an opposition window, provided it's filed within the permitted window.
