Registered trademarks have a 10-year validity and can be renewed indefinitely. The Registrar has set a wide window for you to do so, beginning from 6 months before the date of expiry. The registrar has given plenty of options to renew a Trademark. What happens is that 6 months before the date of expiry of the registered trademark, you can start the process of renewal. If you forget by any chance, then you will be notified with a notice on your registered address before the date of expiry. Now, if you still forget to start the trademark renewal process then the registrar may advertise to remove the trademark in Trademarks Journal. But it only happens if you do not file for a renewal 12 months after the date of expiry.

We help you with conducting a search for the trademark. We make sure that the brand name or logo that you have selected for your brand has not been registered already. In case it is registered under someone else’s name, we help you choose or modify the name and logo so that your identity remains the same with a modified version of the brand name. And in case the trademark that you want to use is not yet registered then we make sure you get its complete ownership by registering the trademark under your name.
For registering the Trademark, you have to apply for the right Class under which you can register your brand name. The thing is, there are total 45 different Classes under which goods and services are classified by the Trademark Registry and while applying for the registration, you must choose a class under which the trademark gives you the right to sell your goods and services. We help you choose that particular class under which you have to register so that you don’t get confused and choose a wrong one.
First we prepare an Authorization Letter which lets us apply for the Trademark Registration on your behalf. After you approve the authorization and sign it then we start the procedure by collecting and preparing your documents for the registration and you also get timely updates until the process of trademark registration is completed.
