Trademark Renewal
Trademark opposition occurs when a third party challenges the validity or registration of a trademark. Unlike a trademark objection, which arises during the examination process conducted by the trademark office, opposition is initiated by an external entity after the trademark has been accepted for publication in the official gazette.
Benefits of Renewing a Trademark
Renewing a trademark offers an array of advantages for its holder:
- It offers legal protection and rights that are upheld by the law.
- Renewal aids in guarding against trademark breaches and serves as a foundation for seeking damages in instances of such violations.
- Renewed trademarks allow the holder to transfer the trademark to another party, whether an individual or a business.
- A validly registered trademark can be licensed, thus enhancing its financial worth.
- Renewing ensures the holder retains exclusive rights, upholding the brand’s unique identity and prestige.
How to Renew Your Trademark
There are two primary methods to renew a trademark:
- Renew with alterations: This option lets you update specific signs or words in the current trademark during renewal.
- Renew without alterations: This option allows for the trademark’s extension without any modifications to its existing design or text.
Trademark Renewal Procedure in India
The trademark renewal process in India is comprehensive, ensuring enduring protection for your trademark. Here’s a concise overview of the steps involved and the accompanying documentation:
Step 1: Submitting the Application
Fill out and submit Form TM-R to the Trademark Registry. Include details such as:
- Trademark registration number
- Current trademark status
- Applicant’s contact details
Step 2: Scrutiny and Review
Renewal eligibility is determined based on the trademark’s remaining validity and adherence to renewal prerequisites.
If discrepancies arise, the Registry will voice its concerns, prompting the applicant to respond within a set timeframe.
Step 3: Announcement in the Trademark Journal
Once any concerns are addressed, details concerning the renewed trademark are publicized in the Trademark Journal for 4 months. This period allows third parties to express any objections.
Should objections surface, the applicant must provide a timely response. A hearing may be organized to clarify and settle the matter if not addressed.
Step 4: Granting the Renewal Certificate
After the designated publication duration and the amicable resolution of potential disputes, the Registry presents the Trademark Renewal Certificate. This document affirms the renewed status of your trademark, valid for another decade.
