Why Renewal of Trademark is important ?

Why Renewal of Trademark?

Application for Renewal of registration of a trademark may be filed within one year before the expiration of the registration of the trademark under FORM TM-R with the prescribed fee. Earlier, the Application for renewal could be filed only six months prior to the expiration of the trademark.

DUPLICITY OF TRADEMARK Renewing a trademark helps you to keep away from duplicity and also maintains its exclusive nature. So, if your trademark expires, then your brand is not safe anymore as it is open in the market and can be taken by any third party who claims it. Hence it is important to renew a trademark before expiry.
