What is Trademark Renewal?

A registered trademark's validity period can be extended through a process known as trademark renewal. Trademarks typically have a limited duration of protection, after which they must be renewed to maintain their legal status and exclusive rights. Renewal involves submitting an application and paying the necessary fees to the appropriate trademark office or authority. By renewing a trademark, the owner ensures continued protection against unauthorized use and maintains their exclusive rights to the mark in commerce. Failure to renew a trademark can result in its expiration and loss of legal protection, potentially allowing others to use the mark freely.
