How to Restore a Trademark?

Trademark Restoration

The trademark of a company is the mark, slogan, word or phrase which is used for the product or services of a company. This mark is essential as it distinguishes the products of a particular company from that of other similar ones in the market. But the trademark only holds its value when it is registered under the Trademark Act, 1999. Hence, the trademark has to be registered under the government to avail the legal powers of suing the infringers or those who try to use the trademark unlawfully or using a duplicate trademark.

The trademark registered with the registrar is valid for only 10 years and after that period, the trademark has to be renewed by the owner of the trademark for continued use. This is also essential to preserve the rights and the protection that is part of it.

When the 10 years are about to be over the renewal process is begins six months before the expiration of the validation date. The registrar of the trademark office sends a notice to the company 1-3 months before the expiry date. If the company does not apply for renewal still, then the company loses its rights over the trademark and bears adverse effects as well. Once the renewal period lapses then only the restoration can be done for the trademark. But the application for the restoration can be done after 6-12 months of the expiry date.
