Frequently Asked Questions About Trademark Renewal in Belgium

Registering a trademark in Belgium via the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP) grants exclusive rights across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

Missing deadlines may result in the automatic lapse of the trademark, leaving your brand exposed.

Understanding the renewal process, timelines, and key requirements is essential to keep your trademark active and safeguarded in Belgium.
