A registered trademark is valid for 10 years in India and must be renewed before expiry to retain legal protection. Trademark owners can also make modifications, such as changing the address, ownership, or applicant details, by filing relevant requests with the IP India Trademark Registry.
If the renewal is delayed, the registry may allow restoration within 6 months with late fees. Failure to renew results in loss of exclusive rights over the brand.
