Trademark renewal preserves those rights which are only available to a registered mark.

The registrar of trademarks will send you a letter of a reminder of the expiry of the trademark 6 months prior to its expiry. > Application for renewal of the trademark can be filed on or before 6 months, before the expiry of the registration in a prescribed form before the Registrar along with the requisite renewal fee.> A renewal request can also be filed within 6 months after the expiry of the renewal date along with the requisite late renewal fees.> If the request is not filed and the fees is not paid within the aforementioned periods, the trademark is liable to be removed from the Register.
