India Trademark Restoration
To identify and promote a company's goods and services, it often registers a trademark, which can be a word, logo, or combination of these elements. Therefore, the trademark of a company is the most crucial aspect of its existence, and any manipulation with or illegal use of this trademark by any company to which it does not belong provides the authorized company the right to legal action.
Trademark registration with the Registrar is mandatory after a firm has been founded, and registration is good for only 10 years. After the initial 10 years, the company will need to renew the trademark in order to keep using it. Maintaining your trademark and the legal protections it provides is easier with regular renewals.
Six months before the end of the trademark's validity period, the renewal process must commence. The Registrar will send a reminder between one and three months before the expiration date if the firm has not yet submitted a renewal application. If the firm does not initiate the renewal process and pay the renewal fees before the trademark expires, the company will lose its trademark and be subject to the consequences.
The business might seek trademark restoration if the trademark renewal deadline has passed. This application for renewal, however, must be submitted between six months and a year before the expiration date.

Only after the trademark renewal application deadline has passed may a trademark restoration application be filed.
