In accordance with the Law No. 20 Year 2016 on Trademark and Geographical Indications (the Trademark Law), a Trademark owner may renew its registered Trademark within 6 months before the due date – which is calculated from 10 years from the date of application. Before the enactment of the current Trademark Law, a registered Trademark would be automatically removed from the register if the owner forgot to renew it. The only option to \u201crevive\u201d the Trademark back then would be to refile a new application. However, as we all are aware, in the riveting realm of intellectual property law, time is not just money – it is the undisputed king, and deadlines are not mere suggestions, they are royal commands.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While meeting renewal deadlines is of utmost importance, but what unfolds when a Trademark owner takes a memory misstep and lets the renewal lapse into the abyss of forgetfulness? Well, it is not the end of the world – the Trademark owner just has to pay more official fees – more or less double – to keep the Trademark alive. This is regulated by the Trademark Law where it allows a Trademark to still be renewed even after the deadline has passed. However, the grace period is only limited to 6 months after the deadline. Please note that it is technically impossible to renew the Trademark after the grace period has lapsed. Refiling the Trademark is the only feasible option.<\/span><\/p>\n
