Keeping Your Trademark Protected
A registered trademark in India is valid for ten years and can be renewed every ten years indefinitely. Renewal keeps your exclusive rights to the brand name or logo in force.
Renewal can be requested in the months before the expiry date. If the deadline is missed, a short grace period with an additional fee is available; after that, the mark may be removed from the register, and restoring it becomes harder.
