Frequently Asked Questions About Trademark Renewal in Bhutan

In Bhutan, trademarks are registered with the Intellectual Property Division (IPD) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and must be renewed every 10 years to maintain protection.

Failure to renew on time results in automatic lapse, but there is a six-month grace period for late renewals with an additional fee. If the trademark is not renewed within the grace period, it is permanently removed from the register.
