Benefits of Trademark Renewal
Renewing a trademark offers several key benefits, ensuring continued legal protection and maximizing the value of your intellectual property. Here are the main advantages of trademark renewal:
 | Continued Legal Protection: Trademark renewal maintains your exclusive right to use the mark in connection with your goods or services, protecting against unauthorized use by others; |
| Brand Recognition and Loyalty: A renewed trademark ensures that your brand identity remains consistent and recognizable to customers, helping build long-term trust and loyalty; |
| Protection Against Competitors and Counterfeits: Regular renewal prevents others from attempting to register a similar or identical mark, which could dilute your brand or create consumer confusion in the marketplace; |
| Global Expansion Opportunities: If you plan to expand into international markets, having a renewed trademark in the U.S. strengthens your position when applying for trademark protection in other countries. |
Commonly Asked Questions: |
| How often do I renew my registered trademark? |
| A registered trademark in the U.S. must be renewed every 10 years to maintain its validity. During the first 10 year period, a registered trademark is renewed between the 5th and 6th year after the initial registration date, and then again between the 9th and 10th year after the initial registration date. After the first 10 year period, a trademark is renewed only at the 9th year for another 10 year period. |
| Can I renew an expired trademark? |
| If you miss the renewal deadline, there is good news because the USPTO offers a six-month grace period. You can file a trademark renewal application within the six-month grace period for an additional fee. If you don't file before the end of the six-month grace period, your registration will be canceled. When a registered trademark is cancelled, you only solution is to file a new trademark application as soon as possible to obtain a new registration. |
