When should I register my trademark?
Timing is everything, and this is especially true when it comes to trademark registration. Choosing to trademark your brand at the right time is much more important than you would think.
Do I have to renew my trademark through the same representative who filed it originally?

You can choose who will renew your trademark; it doesn't have to be the original legal representative. However, if you opt for change, it is important to select a representative who has the right to act in the given jurisdiction and is a recognised authority for the local IP office. For example, in the US, only attorneys who are bar members can represent trademark owners before the USPTO.
At Trama, our global team is ready to assist you with renewal in several jurisdictions. If you are interested in renewing your trademark, we offer a highly convenient service where the renewal can be done with just a few clicks.
