About 9 to 12 months before your trademark's expiration date, you will receive an offer from us detailing the trademark renewal process. If you wish to utilize our renewal service, please follow the instructions provided in the offer, sign the document, and return it to us.
We send this form well in advance—despite the fact that renewals can only be processed 6 months prior to expiration—because many trademark holders have changed addresses over the past decade without updating their information with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). At Stern Young and Partners, we make every effort to locate the correct addresses, but we often encounter returned mail and must manually search for updated contact details.
Additionally, we’re pleased to inform you that all customers who have registered or renewed their trademarks with us, regardless of whether they have done so for the entire ten-year period, will receive automated trademark monitoring and assistance with trademark infringement issues as part of our comprehensive service.
Once we receive your signed form, we will issue an invoice. After your payment is processed, you can rest easy knowing that your trademark renewal will be completed within the IPO's time limits.
