San Marino Trademark Renewal

A trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the filing date and may be renewed for successive 10-year periods indefinitely.

• Renewal window: Within 12 months prior to expiration
• Grace period: 6 months after expiration
• After grace period: Trademark is considered lapsed

• No documents beyond the renewal request form
• No Power of Attorney or proof of use required
• Payment of the renewal fee
• Renewals are published in the Trademark Bulletin

• Restoration is not available
• However, if the payment was made on time and not recorded, you may appeal the lapse within 3 months of publication
• A lapsed trademark can be re-registered by third parties at any time

• USBM will notify the owner or agent after the grace period ends, confirming the lapse
• The lapse is also recorded and published in the Trademark Bulletin

Avoid:

• Failing to pay the late fee during the grace period
• Missing the 3-month appeal window if lapse notice is issued
• Assuming international registrations for Italy cover San Marino

You can still renew within 6 months with a 25% late fee. After that, the trademark is marked as lapsed, though a limited appeal is possible if payment was made on time.

Not under normal circumstances. Appeals are allowed only if you prove the fee was timely paid but not processed.

No. Use is not required to renew a trademark in San Marino.

Update your record with the USBM to maintain accurate registration details.
