Trademark Renewal

Timely trademark renewal in Goa — filing Form TM-R to renew your registration every 10 years, with proactive deadline tracking — and, if a mark has already lapsed, restoration within the statutory window so you do not lose the brand you built.

Overview

Trademark Renewal, handled end to end.

A trademark registration lasts 10 years and must then be renewed to stay in force, by filing Form TM-R. Renewal can be filed up to a year before expiry; the Registry is required to send a Form O-3 notice before removing a mark, but you should never rely on it — the duty to renew is yours.

If a mark lapses, it can still be restored and renewed within the prescribed period after expiry, on payment of a surcharge. Letting a valuable mark die for a missed deadline is an avoidable disaster, so we track your renewals, file on time, and handle restoration where needed — protecting the registration you hold.

Frequently asked questions

Trademark Renewal, answered.

How often must a trademark be renewed?

A trademark registration is valid for ten years and must be renewed every ten years thereafter to remain in force. With timely renewal, the protection can continue indefinitely, making the mark a lasting asset.

How is a trademark renewed?

Renewal is done by filing Form TM-R with the prescribed fee, and it can be filed up to one year before the registration expires. We track the date and file the renewal in good time so there is no gap in protection.

What is the Form O-3 notice?

Before removing a mark for non-renewal, the Registrar is required to send the proprietor a Form O-3 notice of the impending expiry and the conditions for renewal. Courts have held this notice to be mandatory, but you should renew proactively rather than wait for it.

Can a lapsed trademark be restored?

Yes. A mark that has lapsed for non-renewal can generally be restored and renewed within the prescribed period after expiry, on payment of the renewal fee with a surcharge. We handle restoration so a valuable mark is not lost permanently.

What happens if I do not renew?

If a mark is not renewed and the restoration window passes, it is removed from the register and you lose the exclusive statutory rights, leaving your brand exposed and the mark potentially open to others. We prevent this by tracking and filing renewals.

Can you manage renewals for multiple marks?

Yes. For businesses with several marks across classes, we maintain a renewal calendar and handle each filing, so nothing slips through. Coordinated portfolio renewal is part of the service.
