Trademark Renewal
Keep Your Brand Legally Protected
A Trademark Registration is valid for 10 years from the date of application. To ensure continuous protection of your brand name, logo, or mark, you must renew it before expiry. Trademark Renewal prevents your brand identity from lapsing and safeguards it against misuse or infringement.
