How long is a trademark registration valid in India?

A trademark registration in India is valid for 10 years from the date of filing the application, not from the date of registration. It can be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods.

Can I renew my Indian trademark online?

Yes. Renewals are filed using Form TM-R through the IP India online portal at [ipindiaonline.gov.in](https://ipindiaonline.gov.in). The entire process can be completed electronically.

What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?

You have a 6-month grace period after the expiration date to file a late renewal with a surcharge. If you miss the grace period, the mark will be advertised for removal and eventually removed from the register.

Do I need to show proof of use to renew my trademark in India?

No. Unlike the United States (which requires declarations of use), India does not require proof of use as a condition of renewal. You can renew your registration regardless of whether the mark is currently in use.

Can a removed trademark be restored?

Yes, restoration is possible under Section 25(4) of the TMA 1999 by filing an application with the prescribed fee. However, restoration is at the Registrar's discretion and is not guaranteed, especially if third parties have acquired rights in the mark.

How much does trademark renewal cost in India?

Standard renewal costs ₹4,500 per class for individuals and startups, or ₹9,000 per class for other applicants. Late renewal (within 6 months after expiration) doubles the fee. Professional service fees are additional. [Get help with your renewal →](/services/trademark-renewal)
