Renew a trade mark

A trade mark registration lasts for 10 years. To maintain the registration you must renew the trade mark by the due date. If the mark is not renewed by the due date it will expire. A trade mark can be renewed up to 12 months before the due date.

A trade mark may be restored up to one year after the trade mark registration has expired using the same process as a trademark renewal. During this period the trade mark will be shown on the trade mark register as 'Expired but restorable'.
