Safeguard Your Brand: EU Trademark Renewal Service

Keep your EU trademark active across all 27 member states. We manage the entire renewal process with EUIPO to ensure uninterrupted protection throughout the European Union.

1. Service Overview

A European Union Trademark (EUTM) registration is valid for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely in 10-year periods. To maintain protection across all EU member states, renewal must be filed in time with the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Our renewal service ensures accurate filing, timely payment, and confirmation of renewal without interruption to your rights.

2. Why Timely Renewal in the EU is Critical

  • ✅ Unified Protection: An EUTM protects your brand in all 27 EU countries — lapse means loss of protection in the entire region.

  • ✅ Avoid Refiling Costs: Failure to renew means starting over with a new application and examination process.

  • ✅ Maintain Market Presence: Continuous registration strengthens brand recognition and legal enforceability.

  • ✅ Legal Certainty: Renewed registration ensures valid ownership for enforcement and licensing.

Ensure Your EU Trademark Protection Never Expires

Don’t risk losing protection across all 27 EU member states — renew your EUTM today.

When should I start the renewal process for my EU trademark?
You can file renewal applications up to 6 months before the expiration date. We recommend starting 4-6 months in advance to ensure timely processing.
Is there a grace period for trademark renewal in the EU?
Yes, the EUIPO provides a 6-month grace period after the expiration date, but requires payment of substantial additional surcharges that increase monthly.
Can I limit the list of goods/services during renewal?
Yes, you can choose to renew your trademark for only some of the originally registered goods/services, which can be a strategic way to reduce future renewal costs.
What happens if I don't renew my EU trademark?
If not renewed, your trademark registration will expire and you will lose all protection across all 27 EU member states. Refiling a new application would be much more expensive and time-consuming.
Do I need to prove use of the trademark for renewal?
No, the EUIPO does not require proof of use for renewal. However, your trademark could be vulnerable to cancellation for non-use if challenged by third parties.
