Common Mistakes to Avoid When Renewing a Trademark in Austria

Trademark owners should avoid these common mistakes:

  • Missing the renewal deadline : If renewal is not completed within the grace period, the trademark will lapse.
  • Failing to submit the renewal fee correctly : Only payment of the full renewal fee and applicable surcharge will be accepted.
  • Assuming renewal is automatic : The Austrian Patent Office notifies owners of upcoming expirations, but it does not automatically renew trademarks. Owners must actively request renewal.

By avoiding these mistakes, trademark owners can ensure their brand remains protected under Austrian trademark law.
