Documents Required for Trademark Renewal

Trademark Registration Certificate

Applicants need to provide a copy of the original registration certificate issued by the Indian Trademarks Office. This document serves as proof of the existing trademark and is essential for the renewal process.

Renewal Application Form (Form TM-R)

A critical component of the renewal process is the completion of Form TM-R, which is accessible on the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (CGPDTM) official website. This form must be filled out with precision and accuracy, ensuring all details are current and correct.

Power of Attorney

In cases where the trademark renewal is being processed through an attorney or legal representative, a duly executed Power of Attorney is mandatory. This legal document authorizes the representative to act on behalf of the trademark owner in all matters related to the renewal process.

Proof of Payment

Evidence of the payment of the renewal fee must be provided. This proof is a confirmation that the necessary fees associated with the renewal process have been paid in full. The fee structure and payment methods are detailed on the CGPDTM website.

Details of Goods/Services

Applicants are required to furnish detailed information regarding the class or classes of goods or services for which the trademark is registered. This information must align with the International Classification of Goods and Services to ensure that the trademark is accurately renewed for the relevant categories.

User Affidavit

In some instances, an affidavit confirming the usage of the trademark may be required. This affidavit serves as a declaration of the continuous use of the trademark in the market and is critical in maintaining the validity of the registration.

Documentation for Changes in Trademark Details

If there have been any changes in the details of the trademark since the original registration or the last renewal, such as changes in ownership, address, or any modification in the trademark itself, supporting documentation must be provided. These documents are crucial for updating the records and maintaining the accuracy of the trademark registry.

Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

For online submissions, a valid Digital Signature Certificate is required. Applicants should ensure that their DSC is up to date and following the requirements specified on the CGPDTM website. The DSC is used to authenticate the identity of the applicant and secure online transactions.
