Trademark Renewal

To renew a trademark, the owner must submit a stipulated form to the Registrar. This application may be submitted on or before the day the trademark registration expires. If no application for renewal has been submitted, the Registrar will notify the proprietor of the impending renewal date one to three months prior to the registration expiration date. Remember that if a notice of renewal is not served, no trademark may be taken down.

The proprietor must submit an application for renewal and pay the appropriate renewal fees. The trademark will be removed from the registry if these fees are not paid.
