How it works

## Three steps to a clean Japan renewal. 

1

### Diary and reminders

We set up the renewal diary the moment we take on the matter, and send you reminders 12 months, 6 months, and 30 days before the Japan renewal deadline.

2

### Draft and file

Inside the JPO filing window, our Japan representative drafts and files the renewal, paying the government fee from your retainer or on your authorisation.

3

### Confirmation and next-cycle diary

Once the JPO confirms the renewal, we deliver the renewal certificate to your client portal and set the diary for the next renewal cycle.

What's included

## Every Japan renewal we file.

A JPO renewal is filed by a benrishi in the 6-month window before expiry. The 10-year renewal can be paid in full or split (5-year + 5-year), at the holder's choice. Renewal extends protection across Japan for the registered classes and similar-group codes.

-   JPO renewal filed by a JPAA-registered benrishi (patent/trademark attorney) 
-   10-year vs 5-year split-payment decision support 
-   6-month pre-expiry window managed end-to-end 
-   Similar-group code review before renewal. Narrow or maintain coverage 
-   Renewal diary set up for the next renewal cycle 

Pricing breakdown

Why timing matters

## Why Japan renewal timing matters.

### Registration-based. Renewal must be filed within 6 months before expiry

JPO renewal fees are among the highest among major registries (¥38,800/class for the 10-year). The 5-year split option spreads the cost and reduces commitment if the brand is being phased out, but doubles the administrative work.

### Grace period exists, but it costs

JPO allows 6-month grace period after expiry with double-fee surcharge, but the surcharge is real money, and the registration is technically lapsed during that window. Better to file in the standard window.

### Missed renewal = lost mark

If the Japan grace period also lapses, the mark is cancelled and the date you lose. Any third party can register the same mark from the day after, including in jurisdictions where squatting is endemic.

A named person, on email or a call, at every step.

2.  At the deadline 
    
    ### Renewed for the next term
    
    The JPO records the renewal and your registration continues without a gap in protection.
    
3.  If you run late 
    
    ### Grace period, not a plan
    
    Most registries allow a short grace period after the deadline, with a surcharge and a lapsed registration in the meantime. We aim to file well before it.
    
4.  Ongoing 
    
    ### Next cycle tracked
    
    We diary the next renewal and any mid-term use declaration, so your protection never lapses by surprise.

The optimal window is within the JPO's standard pre-expiry filing window. We typically file 6-12 months before the deadline. 6-month grace period after expiry with double-fee surcharge is a fallback, not a strategy.

How much does a Japan renewal cost? 

What happens if I miss the Japan renewal deadline? 

Does my Japan renewal require proof of use? 

Can GTC handle my renewal if you didn't file the original registration? 

What does the $380 renewal service fee include?
