Trademark Renewal
After a trademark is successfully registered, its term is typically 10 years (varies by country or region). If the mark is not renewed upon expiry, the rights will lapse, which can lead to loss of exclusivity. Timely renewal ensures your brand remains protected and helps prevent third-party squatting or hijacking.
