What is Trademark Renewal?

A Trademark Renewal is the legal process of extending the protection of a registered trademark in India for another 10 years. The renewal must be filed with the Indian Trademark Office before the trademark expires to avoid removal from the Register.

2. Power of Attorney (if renewal is done by agent or attorney)

3. Applicant Details (Name, Address, Email, Contact)

4. Copy of TM Certificate (optional but preferred)

   TM-13 Form (for restoration after expiration)
