Extend trademark protection

Service Description

When the term of protection of your trademark ends, you can extend the protection.

The term of protection of a registered trademark begins on the filing date and ends 10 years later. If the trademark was registered before January 14, 2019, the ten-year term of protection ends at the end of the month in which the filing date falls.

You can extend the trademark protection as often as you like for 10 years at a time.

The extension takes effect on the day after the last term of protection expires. It is entered in the register and published. The term of protection can be extended for all goods and services or only for some of them. If the term of protection is not extended, the trademark right expires.


Process flow

Proceed as follows to extend the term of protection of your registered trademark:

  • About 8 months before the term of protection expires, the German Patent and Trade Mark Office will inform you about the possibility of renewing the trade mark.
  • Pay the renewal fees and any class fees in good time.
  • If you only want to extend the term of protection for some of the goods and services or wish to receive the renewal confirmation at an additional address, use the "Application for renewal of a trademark" form.
  • Once the renewal has been entered in the trade mark register, you will receive a confirmation, which will be sent automatically to the address for service entered in the register and, if applicable, to another address specified in the application.
