What's Important?
Importance of International Trademark Renewal
It is important to keep your intellectual property protected at all cost. By registering a trademark, you get loads of advantages and legal protection against infringements, but all of this expires with your trademark’s expiration, unless you are a world-renowned brand.. To have continued rights related to your trademark, it is important to renew your trademark before the expiration. Once the trademark expires, you will lose all your trademark protection and exclusive rights, and a competitor might take advantage of that.
Many businesses think that if their trademark has been around for many years, competitors might not be on the lookout and they will remain protected even if they are not protected by law anymore. This is a mistake, one that can turn out to be fatal. Even if you think your trademark is not being noticed, if you delay the renewal, competitors may take advantage of the delay and register the goods and services that are similar or identical to yours, under their own business name.
It is always beneficial to get a renewal done to keep the brand image up to the mark. If your business used the symbol ™ alongside its name, it must keep it like that so that it can retain its brand image and goodwill otherwise customers would become skeptical of using the business’s goods and services.
