The registration of a trademark is valid for a period of ten years commencing from the filing date of the application and can be renewed for subsequent ten-year term, ad infinitum.
Late renewal is allowable within a 6 month period after the expiry date of the registration, subject to payment for late renewal. As of March 7, 2002, to renew a multi-class registration, it is necessary to file a separate renewal application for each class.
For filing a renewal application, the following documents are required:
(i) A Original Power of Attorney, which is executed by the owner and duly certified by a notary public. Legalization is not required;
(ii) A copy of the certificate of trademark registration;
15 prints/specimens of the registered mark of a size, which is not in excess of 80x80mm and less than 15x15mm.
