A registered trademark in India is valid for 10 years from the date of registration and must be renewed periodically to keep protection alive, as governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
Missing the renewal deadline can lead to removal of the mark from the Register, opening the door for others to adopt a similar mark and putting your brand's exclusivity at risk.
TrustMark IP Consultants manages the complete journey — renewal reminders, Form TM-R filing, restoration of removed marks, and Registry follow-up — so your trademark protection never lapses.
