Seychelles Trademark Renewal

A trademark registration in Seychelles is valid for 14 years from the date of application and may be renewed for additional 7-year periods.

• Renewal window: Within 6 months before the expiration date
• Grace period: 6 months after expiration
• After grace period: The trademark lapses automatically and must be re-filed

• Notarized Power of Attorney
• Trademark details
• Payment of the renewal fee and penalty (if applicable)
• Renewals are published after being processed

• Restoration is not allowed
• Once lapsed, the trademark can be re-registered by third parties

• The registry does not notify agents or owners of cancellations due to non-payment
• Always track expiration deadlines manually or with a legal representative

Avoid:

• Missing the renewal window and grace period
• Failing to provide a notarized Power of Attorney
• Assuming that old Act renewals carry over automatically

You have 6 months to renew with a penalty. After this, the trademark is automatically removed, and a new application must be submitted.
