Renewing a trademark in the United Kingdom is essential to ensure your brand continues to receive legal protection. A UK trademark registered with the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) grants exclusive rights within the country, but these rights are only valid for a limited time. Understanding the UK trademark renewal process helps prevent accidental cancellation and costly legal consequences.
A UK trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the date of registration. After this period, you must renew the trademark to maintain your rights. The trademark can be renewed indefinitely in 10-year periods.
Timely action is crucial for trademark renewal in the United Kingdom. The renewal process follows this timeline:
To successfully renew your UK trademark, the following must be submitted to UKIPO:
Incorrect or incomplete filings may result in rejection and the loss of trademark rights.
Unlike other jurisdictions, the UK does not require a Declaration of Use for trademark renewal. However, if a trademark is not used for five consecutive years, it may be canceled upon request from a third party. Active use is key to preserving trademark validity in the UK.
To ensure a smooth UK trade mark renewal process:
Neglecting these updates may lead to delays or legal issues during renewal.
Trademark owners often lose rights due to the following:
You have a six-month grace period to renew after the deadline. After that, the trademark is canceled, and you must reapply.
No. Once canceled, a UK trademark cannot be reinstated. You must file a new application and may risk losing rights to the mark.
Renewal must be done through UKIPO’s online system with your trademark number and fee payment.
No, but your trademark must be actively used to avoid cancellation for non-use.
Yes, but first update the trademark registration with UKIPO to reflect the change.
