Trademark renewal date calculator
Enter the application date of your registered trademark. In India the 10-year term counts from the application date, not from the date on your registration certificate.
Your renewal dates
- Renewal opens
File Form TM-R any time from this date.- Registration expires
years from the application date. Renew before this to keep it without extra fees.- Late renewal ends
Until this date you can still renew by paying a surcharge on top of the renewal fee.- Restoration window ends
After the late-renewal window, the mark can be removed. Until this date you can ask for it to be restored and renewed, but only if the Registrar agrees.
Some dates aren’t shown because we couldn’t confirm the rule from an official source. Check them with IP India before you rely on them.
Estimate only. Confirm the date in the official Trade Marks Journal and file well before the deadline. This is not legal advice.
How these dates are worked out
A trademark is registered as of its application date, and a registration lasts 10 years. Each renewal adds another 10 years from the previous expiry. Renewal is filed on Form TM-R, up to 12 months before expiry.
If you miss the expiry date, you can still renew within 6 months by paying a surcharge. After that the Registrar can remove the mark, and restoration is possible until 12 months after expiry, at the Registrar’s discretion.
If you haven’t renewed, the Registry sends a reminder notice (Form RG-3) before expiry. Not receiving it doesn’t change the date.
Official fees, per class
| Filing | Online | On paper |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal (TM-R) | ₹9,000 | ₹10,000 |
| Surcharge, on top | ₹4,500 | ₹5,000 |
| Restoration, on top | ₹9,000 | ₹10,000 |
The fees are the same for every kind of applicant. A trademark agent’s or advocate’s fees are extra. For the steps, read trademark renewal in India.
Frequently asked questions
Do the 10 years start from the registration certificate date?
No. In India a registered mark is treated as registered from its application date, so the 10-year term counts from the day you applied.
How early can I renew?
You can file Form TM-R up to 12 months before the expiry date.
What if I miss the expiry date?
You can still renew within 6 months after expiry by paying a surcharge on top of the renewal fee. After that, restoration within 1 year of expiry is possible only if the Registrar agrees.
