Professional Trade Mark Renewal Services
A registered trade mark can last indefinitely, but only if you renew it on time, every ten years. Miss the deadline and you can lose protection for a brand you have spent years building. Panoramix IP takes the risk out of renewals, with an in-house team that tracks the deadlines, handles the payments and manages your portfolio, so your marks stay protected without you having to think about it.

Trade Mark Renewal Specialists: Here To Help
Our team takes ownership of your trade mark renewals so you never lose protection to a missed deadline, and so your portfolio stays aligned with the brands you actually use.
Here’s what we help with:
• Tracking and paying UK trade mark renewal fees every ten years
• EU trade mark (EUTM) renewals and renewals in other jurisdictions
• International renewals across multiple territories through our associate network
• Managing renewals of international registrations under the Madrid System
• Portfolio reviews to decide which marks to maintain, prune or restore
• Reminders, reporting and clear records of what is due and when
• Advice on late renewal within the grace period and on restoration
For businesses managing larger portfolios, an IP audit can also help you understand which rights remain commercially important and where your IP portfolio may need strengthening or rationalising.

Protection That Lasts as Long as You Do
Unlike patents and registered designs, a trade mark can be renewed indefinitely. There is no maximum term. In the UK a registration lasts ten years and can be renewed every ten years thereafter, for as long as you continue to maintain the registration.
That makes trade marks some of the most enduring and valuable assets a business owns, but the value only endures if the renewals are paid. We track every deadline and confirm every payment, so a brand you have invested in for years is never lost to an overlooked date.
Renewal is only one part of effective trade mark protection. We can also help you monitor your marks, enforce your rights and expand your protection as your business enters new markets.
A Portfolio That Matches Your Brand
Over time, brands evolve. Products are retired, sub-brands are dropped, and some registrations stop reflecting how you actually trade. Renewing every mark regardless of its relevance is money spent for no return.
We help you review your portfolio at each renewal cycle and make deliberate decisions, maintaining the marks that protect your live and future brands, and letting go of those that no longer do.
Where your business has expanded internationally, we can also review whether your existing registrations still cover the territories that matter and advise on international brand protection where additional registrations are needed.
The result is a portfolio that mirrors your business and a renewal budget focused where it counts.

FAQs
How long does a UK trade mark last?
A UK trade mark registration lasts ten years and can be renewed every ten years indefinitely. There is no upper limit on the number of times it can be renewed, which is what allows well-managed brands to remain protected for generations.
Our wider trade mark services can help you manage your registrations throughout their lifecycle, from initial filing through to renewal and enforcement.
When can I renew my trade mark?
A UK trade mark can be renewed in the six months before the expiry date. If you miss that window, there is generally a six-month period after expiry during which you can still renew, subject to the applicable additional fee.
We track these dates and remind you well in advance, helping you avoid unnecessary late fees and disruption to your trade mark protection.
What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?
If the renewal and any applicable late fee are not paid within the permitted period, the registration can be removed from the register and your protection can be lost. In some circumstances, restoration may be possible, but the relevant requirements and deadlines are strict.
Reliable deadline management is by far the safest course. If you are concerned about the status of an existing registration, our trade mark team can review the position and advise on the available options.
Can you manage renewals for marks in many countries?
Yes. Through our international network and the Madrid System for international registrations, we can manage renewals across multiple jurisdictions, consolidating deadlines, reminders and payments so you deal with a single point of contact rather than many local agents.
We can also consider your renewals alongside your wider international brand protection strategy, helping ensure your portfolio continues to cover the countries where you trade or plan to expand.
Do I need to prove use to renew my trade mark?
No, renewal itself does not require proof of use. However, a UK registration that has not been genuinely used for a continuous period of five years can become vulnerable to revocation for non-use if challenged by a third party.
This is worth bearing in mind when deciding which marks to maintain. An IP audit can help you review the rights you hold and consider whether they continue to reflect the way your business operates.
Should I renew every trade mark I own?
Not necessarily. If a mark no longer reflects a brand you use or plan to use, renewing it may not be worthwhile, particularly if it is vulnerable to a non-use challenge.
We help you review your portfolio at each cycle and focus your budget on the marks that genuinely protect your business. Where you identify gaps, we can also help with new trade mark applications to bring your portfolio back into line with your current commercial activity.
How much does a trade mark renewal cost?
The official renewal fee is set by each registry and can depend on factors including the number of classes covered. There is also a service fee for managing the renewal.
We provide clear cost information ahead of each renewal cycle so you can budget across your portfolio. For larger portfolios, combining renewal decisions with an IP audit can also help ensure your budget remains focused on rights that provide genuine commercial value.
