How can I renew an international trademark registration?

In California, an international trademark registration can be renewed by filing a trademark renewal application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The application must be filed within six months prior to the expiration of the registration. The fees for renewing an international trademark registration vary depending on the type of trademark and the number of classes of goods or services the trademark covers. When filing a trademark renewal application, the applicant must provide information about the trademark, such as the original registration number, the classes of goods or services the trademark covers, and any other information required by the USPTO. In addition, the applicant must provide fees for the renewal. The USPTO reviews the trademark renewal application and examines it to determine if it meets all the requirements. After the review and examination is complete, the USPTO notifies the applicant of the renewal status. If the renewal is successful, the applicant will receive a certificate of registration. If any changes were made to the trademark since the original registration, the applicant may also need to file a Supplemental Register application. This application is used to record any changes that have been made to the trademark since the original registration. The Supplemental Register fee must be paid at the time of filing. Once the trademark registration is renewed, the registrant will have the exclusive right to use the trademark in the United States for the term of the registration. The registration will also be listed in the international trademark database. This will help protect the trademark from others trying to use it without the registrant’s permission.
