To renew your trademark registration, you as the owner will have to pay a renewal fee on a regular basis. Otherwise your trademark registration will lapse, and you will lose your rights as the owner.
Trademark renewal fees depend on the legislation and the country in which you wish to uphold your trademark. A European trademark (EUTM) is valid for 10 years and can in theory be renewed indefinitely.
At Zacco, we maintain a business perspective that goes beyond viewing trademark renewals as a matter of payment of a fee only. Renewals are intertwined with strategic decisions on your trademark portfolio and whether it matches your overall IP portfolio and strategy.
Therefore, we offer two different Trademark Renewal services:
Our in-house expert team can advise you on the development of your trademark and other IP strategy, such as how to leverage your IP more effectively and resist generification, identifying which classes your trademark should qualify for and relevant territories which might be suitable during the application process.
Our online platform, IPview, has been designed for the management of IP and can cover all aspects of trademarks, with both process efficiency and cost effectiveness built in. Comprehensive data security comes as standard and the system includes everything you would need, from up to date information on all case types and upcoming deadlines to comprehensive reporting at every stage of the process.
We can help you to manage your entire global Trademark portfolio more efficiently and more cost effectively and our service is fully customisable depending on your needs. You are able to track all of your completed renewals and those pending in one place through a single point of contact within Zacco. We will manage all processes and requirements internally, offering regular updates on requirements, deadlines and fees at every stage of the process, ensuring full transparency and access to information whenever required. We operate internationally, either directly or through a network of trusted agents who have a detailed understanding of the local rules, are regularly vetted and must adhere to a comprehensive quality assurance process.
With flexible services, comprehensive cost and fee overviews and extensive reports available that detail every step of the process, there is little risk of unexpected surprises. We also offer full process liability so you can rest assured that your Trademarks and other IP will be in safe hands.
