Trademark Renewal Overview

• Trademarks must be renewed every 5 years to remain active. The renewal fee is $50.
• An Application for Renewal form is mailed to the Correspondent’s address about 60 days prior to the 5-year anniversary date. This form is not available on our website because it is specific to your trademark.
• If you need a form sent to you, please contact our office.

• The form includes very specific instructions.
• Update the Correspondent’s name or mailing address if needed. Cross out the old and write in the new.
• A sample of the existing trademark must be submitted with the renewal. Any change in the mark requires a new registration (also $50) instead of the renewal.

• Renewals not received at the Corporation Division by the renewal date will go inactive and a new registration will be required. (There is no grace period.)
  

• Any change, no matter how minor, in the description or image of the trademark requires a new registration, valid for a new 5 year period.
• To change the Assignor or Owner, submit the Trademark Assignment/Cancellation form ($50).
  
• To change the Correspondent name or address, other than on the renewal form, there is no fee, and the Applicant address (only) can be changed the same way.
  
• Write a signed letter (not an email) with the Registry Number and the new information.
