What Trademark Renewal Really Means for Your Business
Trademark renewal ensures that your valuable brand assets—logos, names, slogans, and trade dress—remain legally protected under UK law. Without timely renewal, your brand risks losing exclusive rights, opening the door to competitors copying or infringing your intellectual property. Leadforce helps businesses renew a trademark efficiently, ensuring continuity of protection, maintaining brand value, and safeguarding your investment.
With our trademark renewal service, your rights remain enforceable, your brand identity is preserved, and you can confidently grow your business without risk of losing legal protection.
Why Renewing Your Trademark On Time is Critical
Timely trademark renewal is crucial for businesses that wish to maintain uninterrupted protection of their intellectual property. UK trademarks are valid for 10 years, and failing to renew on time can have serious consequences:
- Loss of exclusive rights – Competitors may legally register identical or similar marks.
- Legal vulnerabilities – Unprotected trademarks cannot be enforced in court.
- Reputational risk – Gaps in protection may reduce customer, partner, and investor confidence.
Renewing before the deadline ensures your trademark remains valid, enforceable, and fully protected against infringement. It also provides peace of mind that your brand's reputation and long-term business value are safeguarded.
UKIPO vs WIPO – Which Renewal Applies to You
Applies to trademarks registered in the United Kingdom. All renewals are filed directly with the UK Intellectual Property Office, maintaining rights solely within the UK.
- UK-specific trademark protection
- Direct filing with UK Intellectual Property Office
- Maintains rights within UK jurisdiction
Applies to international trademarks registered under the WIPO Madrid System. Renewal may require coordination with WIPO and payment of country-specific fees, depending on where protection is sought.
- International trademark protection
- Coordination with WIPO Madrid System
- Country-specific fee management
Selecting the correct renewal route ensures your trademark remains enforceable, avoids unnecessary fees, and keeps your rights fully compliant both in the UK and internationally.
UK Trademark Renewal Deadlines – What You Need to Know
UK trademarks remain valid for 10 years from the registration date. Renewal can be submitted:
Up to 6 months before expiry
Recommended to ensure smooth processing and prevent last-minute complications.
Up to 6 months after expiry
Subject to late fees, which may increase the cost of renewal.
Missing these deadlines can result in the trademark lapsing, leaving your brand exposed to competitors. Keeping track of deadlines and submitting renewals in a timely manner is critical to maintaining continuous protection.
UK IPO Trademark Renewal Fees (2025–26)
The official UKIPO renewal fees for 2025–26 are:
Careful planning of class selection can optimize costs and prevent overpayment. Understanding fees upfront helps businesses budget effectively while ensuring continued trademark protection.
Should You Renew All Trademark Classes?
Trademarks are registered under the Nice Classification system, which divides goods and services into 45 distinct classes—34 for products and 11 for services. Each class represents a specific category of goods or services, meaning your trademark's protection only applies within the classes you have registered.
If your trademark spans multiple classes, each class must be renewed individually. Businesses should carefully evaluate which classes are essential to their operations:
These are the categories where your brand is actively used and generates revenue. Renewing these ensures continued legal protection, prevents competitors from registering similar marks, and maintains market credibility.
These are classes where the brand is not actively used or has minimal business impact. Businesses can consider skipping or deferring renewal for these classes to save on unnecessary renewal fees, provided it does not create legal risk.
Why Class Selection Matters
- Ensures legal protection only where it is needed
- Helps manage renewal costs efficiently
- Prevents gaps in enforceable rights that could expose your brand to imitation or infringement
Strategic planning around class renewals is essential for maintaining enforceable rights across all key business areas without overspending on non-essential categories.
What if Your Trademark Has Already Expired?
Even if your UK trademark has lapsed, renewal may still be possible within six months after expiry, albeit with late fees. After this period, your trademark may need to be filed as a new application, risking the loss of priority and potential legal complications.
Support for expired trademarks typically includes:
Assessment
Assessing the best route to restore protection
Renewal Handling
Handling late renewals with UKIPO or WIPO
Rights Protection
Minimising potential loss of rights or market advantage
Timely action allows businesses to reinstate trademarks efficiently, ensuring ongoing brand protection and maintaining legal enforceability.
Trademark Renewal Reminders and Portfolio Management
Managing multiple trademarks can be complex, with different classes and renewal dates. Effective portfolio management includes:
Automated reminders for all upcoming renewals
Deadline management to avoid lapsed trademarks
Strategic advice on class selection and cost optimisation
Consolidated monitoring across UKIPO and WIPO registrations
A proactive approach ensures continuous brand protection while saving time and reducing administrative stress.
Do I Need Professional Help to Renew a Trademark?
Renewing a trademark may seem simple, but errors can have costly consequences. Professional support reduces the risk of missed deadlines, incorrect class selection, and administrative or compliance errors. Expert guidance ensures uninterrupted protection of your intellectual property, allowing you to focus on growing your business while safeguarding your brand effectively.
What Do I Need to Provide?
To renew your trademark efficiently, you'll need:
- Trademark details – name, logo, or design

- List of classes – to be renewed
- Payment for fees – UKIPO/WIPO fees
