Trademark registration and trademark renewal are two different processes related to trademark protection.
Trademark registration is the process of obtaining legal protection for a trademark by filing an application with the appropriate government authority, such as the Trademark Office in India.
Once registered, the trademark owner can use the registered trademark symbol ®.
Trademark renewal, on the other hand, is the process of extending the validity of a registered trademark beyond the initial registration period.
In India, the initial registration period for a trademark is 10 years. After this period, the trademark owner can renew the registration for another 10 years by filing a renewal application with the Trademark Office.
In summary, trademark registration is the initial process of obtaining legal protection for a trademark, while trademark renewal is the process of extending the protection for a registered trademark beyond the initial registration period.
