If you miss the deadline to renew your trademark in Singapore, you can still apply for a late renewal within six months after the expiry date of the registration. However, you will need to pay additional fees for the late renewal.
Here are the steps to renew your trademark late in Singapore:
- 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.
- If the renewal application is being made after the expiry date of the registration, select the “late renewal” option and pay the additional fees for the late renewal.
- Submit the renewal application and make the 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 if you do not renew your trademark within six months after the expiry date of the registration, the trademark may be cancelled and become vulnerable to infringement by others. Therefore, it’s important to monitor and maintain your trademark registrations to ensure that they are renewed on time.
