Can a trademark be renewed?

Senior Trademark Attorney

Yes. Trademark registrations can be renewed indefinitely in 10-year increments. There is no limit on the number of renewals, so a trademark can remain active for as long as the owner continues to renew it and uses the mark in commerce.

Renewal must be filed within the renewal window (typically the six months before expiry) or within the grace period (typically six months after expiry, with a surcharge). After the grace period closes, the trademark lapses.
