Restoring your trade mark

If you do not renew your trade mark in the 6 months after the renewal date, you have a further 6 months, to apply to restore your mark.

You can do this with the Form TM13 (83Kb).  There is a fee of £100 on the form in addition to the renewal fee on the Form TM11 (26Kb) which is a minimum of £200 for the first class and a further £50 for each additional class.

To action your request we need to know the reasons as to why you failed to renew your mark.  This must be a signed statement sent in with the form.

Send your request to

Intellectual Property Office
Concept House

United Kingdom

Or by fax to us on 01633 817777.

What happens next?

We will consider your request and restore your mark to the register confirming this in writing and enclosing a renewal certificate for 10 years from the original date of registration.

If we refuse your restoration request because we weren’t satisfied with your reasons as to why the mark was not renewed we will write and explain why it was refused, refunding any renewal fees but not the Restoration fee.  We will remove your mark from the register.
