Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about protecting your intellectual property.
Trademark renewal deadlines depend on the jurisdiction in which your trademark is registered. Different trademark offices may have different renewal periods, requirements and procedures.
Regopen IP helps you monitor important renewal dates and manage upcoming renewals so that you can take action before the applicable deadline.
Tracking or monitoring a trademark through Regopen IP does not by itself constitute an instruction to renew. A renewal service is initiated only after the required instruction, information, authorization and payment, where applicable, have been submitted and the service has been accepted by Regopen IP.
The consequences depend on the jurisdiction and how much time has passed since the renewal deadline.
Some trademark offices provide a grace period during which renewal may still be possible, often subject to additional official fees. If all applicable renewal or grace periods have expired, the trademark registration may lapse or expire.
Because the applicable rules and deadlines vary between jurisdictions, the specific status and available options should be determined based on the relevant trademark and jurisdiction.
You can add and manage your trademarks through the Regopen IP platform, allowing you to monitor relevant trademark information and upcoming renewal dates from one place.
Regopen IP helps identify upcoming deadlines and provides tools to initiate and manage the renewal process.
