What is trademark renewal, and when do you need it?
Trademark renewal extends the life of your registered mark. Simply put, a trademark lasts ten years and then needs renewal. Therefore, timely renewal keeps your brand rights alive. Above all, renewal can continue forever, so your mark can last for good.
You need to renew before your mark expires. First, the ten-year term runs from the date of registration. Next, you can file the renewal in the months before it ends. Also, a grace period may apply with a surcharge. Because a lapse risks your brand, early action matters.
Documents required for trademark renewal
You need only a few things to start. Also, our team checks the deadline before filing. As a result, your mark stays protected. Here is the full list:
- The registration number of your trademark
- Details of the current registered owner
- A copy of the registration certificate, if available
- The class or classes the mark is registered in
- Details of any change in the owner’s name or address
- A signed Power of Attorney authorising us to file

The process is simple when an expert guides you. Moreover, Prospect Legal handles every step on your behalf. Here is how it works:
Step 1 — Check the deadline
First, we confirm your renewal date and the class details. Because timing is key, this step comes first.
Step 2 — File the renewal
Next, we file the renewal on the TM-R form with the Registry. Therefore, your mark stays in force for another term.
Step 3 — Handle any query
