Online Trademark Renewal & Restoration (Form TM-R)
Under Section 25 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 read with Rule 57 and Rule 58 of the Trade Marks Rules, 2017, a registered trademark is valid for an initial period of 10 years from the date of application. To maintain continuous nationwide brand protection, the trademark must be renewed every 10 years by filing Form TM-R with the Registrar of Trademarks.
TaxQue provides automated trademark portfolio renewal and restoration services. Our registered Trademark Attorneys track your 10-year renewal windows, file Form TM-R before expiry (or manage restoration under Section 25(4) if expired within 1 year), pay statutory government fees on the IP India portal, and deliver the fresh Trademark Renewal Certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Trademark Renewal
Under Section 25 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, a registered trademark must be renewed every 10 years from the original application date. Renewing on time extends your legal ownership and exclusive brand monopoly indefinitely in 10-year increments.
You can apply for renewal at any time within 6 months prior to the expiration date of the 10-year registration period by filing Form TM-R with standard government fees.
If you miss the deadline, you have a 6-month grace period from the expiration date to file Renewal with Surcharge (Late Fee) via Form TM-R. If the 6-month grace period also lapses, the mark is marked 'Removed' from the register, and you must apply for Restoration under Section 25(4) within 1 year of expiration.
If your trademark was removed for non-renewal, you can apply for Restoration and Renewal within 1 year from the date of expiration by filing Form TM-R along with an affidavit explaining the genuine delay. Once approved, the Registrar restores the mark as if it had never expired. TaxQue handles trademark restorations.
Your renewal is handled by our dedicated Trademark Portfolio Management Desk and authorized by a Registered Trademark Attorney. We verify class details, calculate exact government fees, and ensure instant generation of your Renewal Certificate.
