To renew your trademark in Singapore, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the website of the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) at www.ipos.gov.sg.
- Click on the “e-Services” tab on the homepage and select “Trade marks” from the drop-down menu.
- Select “Renew Trade Mark Registration” and then click on “Apply for Renewal.”
- Enter the required information for the renewal application, including the registration number, the name of the trademark owner, and the class of goods or services.
- Confirm the details of the renewal application and make the payment for the renewal fee.
- Submit the renewal application and payment.
- Once the renewal application and payment are processed, the trademark registration will be renewed for another 10-year period.
It’s important to note that the renewal application can be made within 6 months before the expiry date of the current registration or within 6 months after the expiry date, subject to the payment of additional fees. Also, the trademark owner must use the trademark in Singapore in connection with the goods or services for which it is registered, and failure to do so for a continuous period of 5 years may result in the trademark being vulnerable to cancellation on the grounds of non-use. Therefore, it’s important for trademark owners to monitor and maintain their trademark registrations to ensure that they are being used properly and are in compliance with the trademark laws and regulations in Singapore.
