Frequently Asked Questions
A registered trademark is initially valid for 10 years. Renewal (Form TM-R) extends protection for another 10 years from the renewal date.
You may file renewal anytime before expiry. There's a one-year grace period after expiry (with additional fees). If not renewed within 12 months after expiry, the mark may be treated as abandoned.
Statutory renewal fees depend on the class and applicant type. Additional late fees apply during the grace period.
Typically the online filing and acknowledgement are immediate; formal processing can vary but you'll receive receipts/screenshots promptly and official updates from the registry later.
