Back to Trademark renewal

Will I get notified by the IPO when my trademark reaches the renewal period?

Founder & Trademark Attorney

Many IP offices send courtesy reminders to trademark holders before their registration expires. They typically do so six months to a year before expiration. However, the responsibility for renewing the trademark on time remains with the owner, regardless of whether a reminder is received.

A missed renewal resulting in a lapsed trademark cannot be reversed by citing an absent reminder. Setting your own renewal reminders, independent of any IP office notification, is the more reliable approach.

Trama handles trademark renewals; get a renewal reminder before your deadline.
