Trademark Renewal helps to continue protecting your invention or brand from competitors violating your rights to it. If not renewed you are vulnerable legally, and your trademark may be vulnerable to being used by someone else in a way that harms your business. Usually, a trademark if registered is protected for 10 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Aspects_of_Trademark_Renewal\"><\/span><b>Key Aspects of Trademark Renewal:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Feature<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><b>Details<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Initial Validity<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ten years from the date of registration.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Renewal Period<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Starts 6 months before expiry<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Grace Period<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is for 6 months after the expiration of the subscription or with extra charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Penalty for Lapse<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trademark may be removed from the registry<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trademark, like other business assets, does not automatically renew, the business entity has to take all measures to renew it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read This &#8211;<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/online-trademark-registration-consultant\/\">Get TM With Online Trademark Registration<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Trademark_Renewal_is_an_essential_tool\"><\/span><strong>Why Trademark Renewal is an essential tool?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is not simply a legal process, but an important part of maintaining and developing a trademark&#8217;s position.
