Slovenia Trademark Renewal

A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the application date, and it can be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods.

• Renewal window: Begins 12 months before expiration
• Grace period: 6 months after expiration
• After grace period: The trademark automatically lapses and cannot be restored

• Power of Attorney (no legalization required)
• Payment of standard renewal and any applicable late fees
• Renewals are published by the IP Office

• Restoration is not possible once the grace period has ended
• After lapse, the trademark is open to registration by third parties at any time

• The IP Office sends reminders if renewal fees are not paid
• However, the ultimate responsibility for tracking deadlines remains with the trademark holder

Avoid:

• Missing the 6-month grace period
• Not including the correct surcharge during late renewal
• Assuming restoration is an option

You have a 6-month grace period during which you can renew by paying the standard fee plus a surcharge per class. After this period, the trademark is automatically removed from the register.

No. Restoration is not permitted under Slovenian law after the grace period.

No. Proof of use is not necessary to renew a trademark in Slovenia.
