When should I start the renewal process?
The renewal application can be filed within 12 months before the expiration date. We recommend starting 6-12 months in advance to ensure ample time. There is also a 6-month grace period after expiration, but it requires payment of an additional late fee.
Will I receive a new registration certificate?
Yes. Upon successful renewal, the CNIPA will issue a new, electronic Trademark Renewal Certificate.
Can I make changes to the trademark during renewal?
No. The renewal process is only for maintaining the existing registration. Any changes to the mark, owner name, or address must be handled through a separate "Recordal of Change" process.
