Once registered, a trademark registration lasts for a number of years (e.g. 10 years in Malaysia), unless revoked. Before the expiry date, renewal fees can be paid, along with any necessary submissions, in order to keep the registration in force for another period. Late payments of up to a few months are sometimes allowed, but would usually incur a penalty. A trademark registration can remain in force indefinitely, if it is always renewed.
If renewals are not completed then the trade mark registration will lapse. Renewal services help maintain your trademarks by managing your renewals on your behalf. This is particularly useful if you have a large portfolio across many countries.
Drexworld Management PLT is pleased to offer a Trademark Renewal service.
